Sense and Goodness Without God, by Richard Carrier
http://www.amazon.com/Sense-Goodness-Wit...1420802933

If you want a thoroughly intellectual defense of atheism/humanism, Carrier is great.

Any one have any suggestions?
This might be the wrong place to ask.

Sophisticated atheism that has matured beyond infantile trash talk is sadly not very popular here.

If you want to really understand a philosophically defensible, rigorous defense of atheism I suggest The Atheists Guide to Reality by Alex Rosenberg.

Fuck logic. 

What the fuck are you talking about? Theism - not proven. Therefore atheism is justified. That's all. No fucking books. No fucking philosophy. No fucking arguments. Nothing. Just that.

Is your friend a Christian? I recommend A Letter To A Christian Nation. Don't even read it yourself. Don't even inquire about it. Just give it to her and let her read it. Believe me, it's a very christian friendly book, she'll be glad.

That's not very nice. What are you looking to accomplish by venting this hate?

Limericks already have been written about it. The song would be dull, involving -- as it must -- someone just hammering the same note repeatedly.
