atheism books recommendations

[Pat Mustard]

It isn't an atheism book per se, but I strongly recommend Carl Sagan's collection of essays,  'Broca's Brain'.  Sagan does a pretty good job of explaining why science is (or should be) the methodology of choice when it comes to understanding the world around us, as opposed to appeals to religion or other 'fuzzy' subjects.

Anything by Sagan is worth reading.

@WolfsChild, if you want a good interesting and funny book that really puts the boot into religion try Small Gods by Terry Pratchett. It has no science or history (it's a fantasy novel), but it does hold up a mirror to the world reflecting some very unpalatable truths back to us.
