What makes you think that writing the word bible in a lower case b is blaspheming it?
Capitalisation does not equate to importance imo

Bibliothek in German. I guess it is pretty common. Makes me wonder why English uses library (which comes from the Roman "libris", the book).

For someone who complains so much about capitalizing proper nouns you sure don't mind doing so yourself.
In Italian it's biblioteca.
Now you got me doing a bit of Google..
Both bibliotec and library are from latin roots, bibliotheca meaning book room and liber meaning book.

Only that "biblioteke" is Greek (from "biblion", book) and later Latinized. bibliothec | Etymology, origin and meaning of bibliothec by etymonline
Yes greek, through latin to the rest of the world (mostly)

Title of any book must be capitalized.
It's a title, so I capitalize it just as I would the New York Times.
Since I suspect you capitalize the New York Times as well, tell me ─ do you do so because you think it's holy?

Rest assured this is entirely encouraged by you and no one or nothing else is to blame.
bible.
That wasn't a typo, but you are probably getting worked up over one.

Yes, it's proper grammar to capitalize the title of a book, but it's not blasphemy to not capitalize the book's title.

I don't believe in blaspheme, so it doesn't matter if I capitalize the name of your book.
He seems to have this strange idea that you capitalise them if you are indicating respect or something.
It's been 20 years+ since I was a teacher, and that still leaves me somewhat irritated.

That is sooo wrong. Words at the beginning of a sentence are always capitalized.

oh well. i dont care. just as long as i always remember to capitalize Towel everything is good.
fun fact. the hebrew alphabet that was used to write a large portion of the bible has no capital letters.
for what it is worth.

Was there any capitalization practice in the ancient times also, please?
If not, why not, please?

In this context, the word we're looking for is blasphemy, not blaspheme. The first is the noun; the second the verb.
Or, perhaps, I should write Blasphemy.
