For those who found the light

Atheists are very intellectual people. It takes a lot of intellect and courage to stand up and speak your disbelief in god, something that most people believe in.

Just like me, you are now in a stage in your life that you are very hungry for information. You need to know who else thinks just like you. You need to research the ideas of other atheists. You start to wonder if there are other people like you who do not believe in god.

The good news is, there are many of us!
And many have written books about being an atheist.

Here are some of the books that I found informative and entertaining.

The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins

atheist-booksGod Delusion is probably the best atheism book there is. It explains almost every reason not to believe in god. It also contains arguments from the believers and how to refute or contradict these arguments.

It is written by Richard Dawkins, an atheist like you.

End of Faith

Sam Harris

atheist booksEnd of Faith is a book written by Sam Harris. He is a neuroscientist, someone who studies how the brain works. I recommend this book for those who just recently became atheist and want to find out the scientific basis of faith. Harris explores the processes in the human brain that leads to belief in a god.

I feel the same. There are people who believe that when the end of the world comes that some one on a white horse is going to save them. Then lets look at the whole swallowed by a whale story. Are people really that naive?

Mine is different, ...

 

"George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd."

God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

Christopher hitchens

God is Not Great is a very hard core atheist book by a cognitive scientist Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens explores the dangers of religion in this book. In one part of the book, he narrates a story of facing a group of muslims from a congregation. The danger it brings if they have just learned that it is okay to kill other people who do not believe in Allah.

God is Not Great explains how religion poisons everything.
