Here are some good books on the subject by atheist philosophers:
Daniel Dennett offers a brilliant and illuminating presentation of the atheistic worldview known as reductionist materialism in his Darwin's Dangerous Idea.
J.L. Mackie goes through all the major arguments for God's existence, which number to around fifteen or so, and then dismantles them, in his The Miracle of Theism.
Friedrich Nietzsche's witty though fiery polemic The Anti-Christ is one the best, and most devastating, critiques of the Christian religion from one of the most fascinating and first openly proud atheists.
David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a throwback to the dialogue format so popular among the ancients and goes through the main three arguments for God's existence (ontological, cosmological, and teleological), offering their antimonies through the characters Philo, Cleanthes, and Demea, who respectively take the positions of skeptic, deist, and theist.
Hope that helps!
