The way I look at it, something like stealing can be defined in two ways: technical and moral. Technically, it appears to me that what he did was not stealing. A donation (so others have stated) is requested but not required and people are apparently welcome to take the bibles. Morally, however, I think the issue goes to the intentions of your friend and not the act itself. As far as he was aware, he was taking the bible without permission and, despite the technical aspect, it is still stealing in terms of doing the right thing.
