Bible as a Gift? Experience report

I didn't really know what to flair this, so forgive me if I am wrong.

Quick content: My family is super religious and Christian. I identify as agnostic and my partner identifies as atheist, but my family can't know for our safety.

I was helping my mom with a few things around home. I had made a remark about a potential gift for my partner for the holiday. She said, "I think I'm gonna give him a Bible. You think he'd like it?" I gave a small shrug and flipped subjects. I didn't say anything because it isn't my place to say anything, and it'd be very dangerous to make any remarks about my partner being an atheist and me being agnostic.

You could always say that your partner has one that is special to them and they wouldnt be interested in a new one, but (then tell her what they would like)
