But why? Why would you? You don't need to study atheism or its origins, it's not like some guy did a world changing thing over athiesm. You don't even need a book to argue for athiesm.

It's simple: Religiousfags are idiots for believing in magic and are illogical.

Not exactly what I mean.

More like the books that made you reflect on your beliefs rather than books for people that already have those beliefs

k?

tnx

But that's what it is. It presents the for and against of religious arguments.

Pic related is good if you want arguments for a God of nature as opposed to a God of religion.

Le sigh. Logic isn't even a vital part of religion or atheism. No logic needed at all to prove/believe or "disprove" god.

Whether or not Spinoza was an atheist is beside the point. His Ethics laid the foundation for modern atheist thought, so it's a good place to start.

That's sort of a personal thing tho, no? I mean something as deep as that will be different for everybody else. And if a single book persuades anybody that much one way or another I question their seriousness in studying the issue.
