Welcome. Amazing how the Evangelical community has created its own isolated sub-culture. That sounds like your experience, surrounded by Jesus on all sides - Christian music, Christian movies, Christian books, etc. They really need to get out more.

Welcome. Always room for one more atheist, here and in the real world.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Welcome!

I'm working my way through the God Delusion right now for the first time. I would highly reccomend Why I'm Not a Christian by Bertrand Russell if you haven't read it.

"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." -Friedrich Nietzsche

"All thinking men are atheists." -Ernest Hemmingway

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." -Voltaire

Also, if he's a fan of Hitchens he should pick up God is Not Great.
