4. What do you mean by 'athiest gifts' ? Any gift that is not representative of a specific religious

icon fits the bill...
The only gifts that would not be suitable for giving to an atheist or agnostic would be ones that are specifically religious...
therefore, all other gifts, by default are good for anybody....

Atheism is not a "thing" or a "group" with associated symbols /icons/ traditions/ rituals...
of its own....

So, there is no official athiest gift shop....
just regular old stores.

And as a side note, some of us are open minded enough that we respect everyone's right to believe in whatever they want to... irrespective of our own philosophies...

Speaking for myself, I prefer to give gifts that will have significance/meaning to the recipient ....
which means that I will purchase & give a cross or rosary or other item to someone that I know embraces religious beliefs even though I personally do not.
