Boy, oh boy, do I disagree. It was through books on atheism that I was introduced to concepts of philosophy and things like logical fallacies so books on atheism, for me, were very valuable in leading me to other areas of study despite the fact that I was already an atheist when I began reading them. I think reading atheist books can and is a worthwhile endeavor.
As far as Dawkins, I would recommend The Greatest Show on Earth to absolutely everyone, theist or atheist. It's just a fabulously interesting book and a great overview of evolution so I also disagree that Dawkins books are worth completely overlooking.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
