I think it's important to reiterate one of Rhythm's points, because jstrodel seems to have glossed over it. One need not read an atheist book on religion(Only read "God is not Great" personally, and it was entertaining but nothing I would base my objections on) to reaffirm their beliefs that it's all nonsense. All one has to do for that is pay attention to the words out of the mouths of believers..
The day I study Christianity seriously is the day it passes the smell test, and believers themselves do more to cause a foul stench to emanate from it than atheists could ever hope to.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
