A better way to make that statement is to send a letter. For all the hotel cares, you took this bible with you on your way out: it's already expendable to them.
The hotel is not in business of universal appreciation: it is in the business of catering to its primary demographic, which is largely christian.
If you throw it away in front of hotel management, then it might be a statement... but then, that's just a dick move that will accomplish only perplexity, anger, or exhaustion in employees who likely are not the ones who made the call to have a bible in every room. Ultimately, a polite letter would be more likely to accomplish anything... and even that probably won't do shit, as it's given free of charge by the hotel in the first place, and anyone reading it will probably think of it in the same vein as myself: it's a free service that hurts nobody, and potentially provides a good number of their cliental with some small comfort.

Oh, I can obtain a kindle, and perhaps even download things on it.
But doing so legally is kind of a little bit expensive if memory serves
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
