I do realise that Pratchett's books explore atheism, what I was trying to say was that I think his books are 'anti-religious' in the sense that basically what he's doing is ridiculing religion, and that it is an accurate reflection of our world and how people's behavior is influenced by religion.
This is fine. It's good. It's certainly satirical.
All I'm saying is that I need more than satire for what I plan on doing. Maybe more from a humanistic point of view as well.
Am I making any sense? =/
Basically I want to know if anyone knows any literature that could be useful other than Pratchett? ;P
The books from the His Dark Materials trilogy, by Philip Pullman, are very atheistic, describing the Church as an organization that rips children of their very souls, and where God is a crippled old man who cannot even think by himself. Its a very good read too
