I thought that The God Delusion would be a good starting point? I'd also like to read some arguments in support of God and Christianity, but as with Dawkins, these books are criticized as dogmatic, flawed, arrogant, (fill in the blank). Are there any books on apologetics that are somewhat respected by the Athiest Community? Books that cut through flawed logic, and circular arguments and get down to fundamentals? Books that you might rate more than one star?
Are you willing to look at books concerning Christianity from a non-standard, yet Christian point of view?
My wife is a big fan of Love Wins, by Rob Bell. I may have liked it better if I still believed when I read it. If nothing else, it's a good exercise on seeing how you can stake out quite a wide variety of beliefs all citing the same source (the Bible).
