RE: Books regarding atheism
Not specifically atheist, but Carl Sagan's, "The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" is a classic on general skepticism with regard to supernatural claims.

Daniel Dennett's "Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon" is quite good.

Guy P. Harrison - "50 Reasons People Give for Believing in a God".
Victor Stenger - "God the Failed Hypothesis"
Dan Barker - "Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists"

Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris also have good books.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

The Bible, the Quran, the Book of Mormon.  All fantastic arguments for atheism.

I'm getting nostalgic for the year 2006 just thinking about it. Those were the days, new atheism, Dawkins doing book tours for atheism starved southerners, Hitchens pissing off everyone by defending GW Bush. I was young and read The God Delusion.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

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.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
