If it's not important, why go through all the trouble to have it in every country?
1) It may or may not be important.
2) The reason people have "gone to all the trouble" to spread it worldwide is because the people who believe it is supernatural in origin also believe that it is important to spread it worldwide.
That in no way indicates that it actually is important, only that some people think it is.
Coca Cola has been spread worldwide, too, you know. Does that mean Coca Cola is important?

Re: Things Go Better With Coke

Coca-Cola is a commercial product. In many cases, the Bible is given away. While Religion is, unfortunately, also often commercialized, the good book itself seems to be distributed quite freely and indiscriminately.
Lots of drug dealers give away free samples to get you hooked before they start making you pay.
