Books about atheism

RE: Books about atheism
That's really what I was getting at in the first sentence of my reply: take a look at a typical atheist resource website and imagine that in book form. It's not a perfect model, since books have to have a different structure to an interactive website, however it will give you a general sense. If you really want the full experience, you might try reading one.

I apologise if this isn't your intention but I'm getting the impression that you're essentially trying to say that, since atheism is a non-belief, books about it are pointless or are probably basically all saying the same things. If this is your intention, I wish you'd come right out with it and say so. Again, if I'm reading too much into your words than you mean I do apologise.
I realise on reflection that I might have come off sounding a bit rude there, which wasn't in my mind at all. Assuming your intentions are based on a genuine curiosity, here's a couple of things I found for you to get an idea of what such books are about:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Is_Not_Great

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_God_Delusion

Those will give you a sample of the general flavour; however I (and I'm sure others will also) recommend that you open a real copy and read for yourself.
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.'
