Am I the jerk for buying my daughter a Bible?

I bought my Hindu daughter, who's 14 years old, a Bible because she wanted one.

I asked her why and she said that she wanted to read all of the holy books

and pull out their similarities and compile them to form the basis of one supreme religion.

She also said she has no right to criticize any religion without knowing what it's about.

She's a hardcore atheist. I was a bit weirded out, but teens, I guess.

I got it for her and told her not to let her mom see it.

Take a wild, wild guess. Her mom, my wife, saw my daughter reading the Bible and all hell broke loose.

She screamed at me for trying to convert her daughter.

When my daughter has already renounced any and all religion and does not even portray herself as Hindu,

and that she would grow up thinking Christianity is better than Hinduism.

Here my daughter tried and saying she couldn't care less about any religion

and was just reading the Bible because she wanted to.

My wife yelled at her asking why she didn't read the Bhagavad Gita, the Hindu holy book,

and my daughter simply replied that she didn't want to.

My wife started screaming again, saying she was too young to make her own choices,

and she wouldn't listen to a teenager who used baby toothpaste.

My daughter was like, okay, dad paid for the book, I'm reading it.

Where do you come into the transaction?

At which point my wife called my daughter disrespectful and went back to her silent treatment.

My daughter shrugged and went back to doing whatever, and here I am now.

So, am I the jerk for buying my teenage daughter a Bible?
