The answer depends on a variety of variables. The most simple answer is that all the worlds diverse religious systems have Holy Books, although the contents of those books differ even within religions. The Bible is the Holy Book of the Jews, yet it is also considered the Holy Book by Christians altough they add to it The Gospels and various letters written by important early Christians, such as Peter and Paul, plus the Revelation of St. John. Even the books included in The Bible differ between the Jewish version, the Catholic version, and the Protestant versions. Books included in the Jewish and Catholic bible are missing in the Protestant bible. In Islam, the Holy Book is the Qu'ran. It retells many of the same stories as the Bible, except to a different audience and, unlike the Bible, it is not written as a narrative but rather is a collection of Revelations given at different times under different circumstances to Muhammad. This makes it more difficult for people unfamiliar with the situations under which the Revelations were given to understand it. It is not like reading a story. Zoroastrianism also has a Holy Book or two, as do all the other major faiths. In the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah revealed over 1,000 writings - some short, some book length. One is called The Most Holy Book. Sooo...perhaps the answer to your question is A LOT!!
Catholic Bibles have 73 books, Protestant Bibles have 66 books, and Eastern Orthodox Bibles have up to 81 books.
The only holy book to Christians is the Bible; some have the Apocrypha, and some do not.
