Most of them go by the King James version because its the one their church uses and also they think any other version isn't the real Bible. Half of them haven't really read it outside what is taught to them by the church and they dont have the critical thinking ability to understand what they are hearing and interpret/synthesize it, to understand the broader context or to understand the biases of the authors and editors. Bibles do exist which translate it into American English (simplified) but they refuse to use it.

The only good thing about KJV is that it's public domain! How are you going to tell me you have a copyright on something you believe is the inspired word of God??
