I am an atheist and have been one for about a 9 months, give or take a few, because I thought Christianity was illogical among other reasons. Recently, I decided to read up more on atheism and managed to broaden my knowledge on the subject through the internet. However, I'm eager to read up more on it and so I'm thinking about buying books on atheism. My question is, which books would you recommend for me to read?
I'm currently choosing between:
'God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything' by Christopher Hitchens
'The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason' by Sam Harris
'Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon' by Daniel C. Dennett
'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins.
Which ones do you think is worth reading? Or are all of them worth a read? Also, are there any other books besides those listed above that you would recommend?
Once again, I'm really sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.
If you do not read ALL of those, you deserve to be flogged. I have read most on that list, which means I need to flog myself.
