Atheist Books

I was reading the Freakonomics post about the string of atheist books coming out lately. Here's the Link. Normally it is a very good blog to read. There are many books coming out about atheism. The article asks why so many people are buying the books. I looked though the comments on the blog, but all that is there is an unorganized argument with nothing more than name calling.

I have read only a few of the books out, Dawkins, Harris, Mehta, and Harris again. They were all really good. I read my first couple, Letter to a Christian Nation(Harris) and the God Delusion(Dawkins) while I was still "sitting on the fence" you could say. So I got to read them and question them from both sides.

I think the reason the books are such good sellers because it gives you a chance to hear other people's point's of views without feeling like you are in an argument with someone. Hearing the authors say it is okay, and that you don't have to believe on faith and no evidence, is something that is great to hear. It's really not easy coming out for an atheist. Two of my best friends, who happen to be atheist too, are just a terrified as I am to tell their family. Reading these books are just a great way to feel like there is someone who has your back.

So if you are an Atheist, it's great to hear other's views, and some answers you didn't have to the questions you'll be hit with.
If you are on the fence, maybe they can help you decide. They pulled me to both sides of the fence.
Religious people, if you want answers to how faith isn't enough, or to know how some other people think, great books. And definitely read "Letter to A Christian Nation." You are the Christian Nation aren't you. You should read your mail.
