The parts about the design argument are as you would expect, awesome, but the philosophical stuff later on is pretty terrible at times. I've read just about as many rebuttals of it from Philosophical atheists as i have theists.
I'm not being sarcastic-but it seems pretty hardcore for a layman's book on atheism. So what would you recommend for more hardcore atheism reading?? Because I've read both of Sam Harris's books.
Harris' books are also for the layman
If you want the hardcore stuff you'll need papers by actual 'philosophers of religion' like Tyler Wunder addressing specific arguments made by theist philosophers like Plantinga, Craig, Swineburn etc. The horsemen do well at addressing belief by the rather typical unthoughtful Christians.
