Atheism books/authors?

[CleanShavenJesus]

There's no point to reading any "atheist" books by Dawkins or any of that sort.

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.

Sounds easier to skip that stage and go straight to science and philosophy books.
