What are some good theoretical physics books? I have some theories that my cousin who's an astrophysicist wants me to explore, so I guess I need a framework - preferably less of the atheist stuff than usual and bonus if the author gets lost in a niche.

All of theoretical physics is quasi religious because of BBT cosmology. If you want to explore just pick any midwit crap off the shelf like Hawking. Perfectly compatible with your comatose creationism. Added midwit points for you and her alike if you look at pop quantum physics material which you can use to justify free will and she can use to justify the universe is heckin awesome. If you want the actual truth, you're going to need to read dozens of textbooks being involved, critical and questioning, already have a top level understanding of math and physics, and then read Lemaître's paper, read early criticisms of it such as Einstein's writings and "The Steady-State Theory of the Expanding Universe". Then study and see absolute contradictions to BBT cosmology such as JWST findings and conclude there isn't a God, BBT is nonsense, and then BTFO your cousin and call her out as a pseud time and again until she cries and regrets asking you to explore something that she learns to find out she didn't know very well herself.

Landau-Lifshitz gives a very good introduction to theoretical physics.
