My Christian friends of all denominations have their Bibles out in the open so they can read it. I may not have one out now since mine is on my iPad but it is a lot better for my eyes than the one I used before.
our Bibles are out in the open also, we do have 1 very decorative one on the table under the image of The Sacred Heart. The rest are just books and in no way decorative...black leatherette but pretty nondescript.
