Total garbage. Dont bother reading that op.
I recommend
The God Delusion by Dawkins
God is Not Great by Hitchens
A Universe from Nothing by Krauss
A Universe of Consciousness by Edelman and Tononi
Theres plenty more i cant think of at the moment.
That's up to the OP. It's good to read from all sorts of sources to have a better perspective on atheism. You can't just always only read what you agree with from the start.

Anything by Terry Pratchett, most especially Small Gods.

Unless you can name the god you believe in you're an atheist. There are no perspectives.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Except in this messy complicated world atheism manifests in different ways even if at the core they all amount to a lack of belief in gods. Some atheists put people like Dawkins on a pedestal, some people deride the so-called new atheist movement, and others are just casual don't-give-a-shit atheists.

The only thing they have in common is they don't believe in god.

At the fundamental level, it's as simple as you said. I don't disagree with that. But we don't analyse reality at only one level, as yoy very well know.

If there are multiple way to analyze reality, then all of them bar one are wrong.

Sounds like another challenging book to read. Thanks for mentioning this book. When I'm done with the current one, I'm giving this one a read.
