Might be a bit of a stretch, but does anyone have recommended reading for the theory/implementation/history of night-watchman states?

Asking for convincing arguments FOR atheism is kinda of approaching it from the wrong perspective. All an atheist is is someone who is not convinced that there is a god. You don't have to be convinced of anything else and you don't have to be convinced there is NO god, all you have to do is say "I'm not convinced that any religion is actually correct" and you're an atheist by definition. It's a negative position, not a positive one. You just have to show that religions are nonsense which has been done over and over again logically, philosophically, experimentally etc.

Can anyone demonstrate to you, convincingly, that there is a god/gods/some kind of supernatural? If no, then you're already an atheist.

In my opinion religions are so self-evidently ludicrous that I didn't need to be convinced by anything, but of course I understand the main arguments against the typical omniscient, omnipotent, omni-benevolent god archetype. For an in-depth evaluation into more sort of 'real-world' refutations of Christianity I'd recommend something like Why Won't God Heal Amputees? (https://whywontgodhealamputees.com/god-toc.htm).). It's written by a guy who obviously has no love for Christianity (whereas I'm more ambivalent, I just think it's incorrect) and he's got a very liberal-left progressive bias that runs through his writing (which I find annoying since I'm not a progressive or left-wing at all), but the foundational arguments he makes against the concepts being brought up are pretty watertight.

You think that you came up with that worldview on your own? Messed up, resentful people in high placed can find a lot of uses for an angry young man

Are there any good books on the(surprisingly rich) history of gaming?
