Before I say anything else I am NOT trolling, making this up, etc.
I currently attend a Christian college and am a recent atheist. One of my professors is teaching a foundations of faith class and wants to present atheism's arguments. He is not interested in heaping up straw men so he would prefer to not use one who is going to be a bad example.
For the record I attend Freed-Hardeman University. The reason I am still here is I deconverted this summer and am a senior so I am riding out the last bit of it.
My de-conversion was not really based on an atheist author so I don't know of many resources off-hand.
He may poke around with Dawkins a bit I think but I was wondering if there was perhaps something that went a little deeper than the God Delusion. I think Dawkins is a very intelligent and thoughtful individual but I don't think the God Delusion would be the best there is to offer and yes I have read it
Look at it this way, your book recommendation may actually be seen by Christians in a faith class. I think what I will do is gather the suggestions and send him the list so he can go through it. The class he is teaching I think is a generalized class so it would be great if the books recommended dealt with the issue as a whole.
If there is an opportunity for people to get a good dose of the atheistic point of view I would love to be able to recommend the best representations of it.
So with all that in mind... any particular recommendations?
