Good anti religion books, etc..?

Can anyone recommend to me some good anti-religion books, or even dvds? Or some web pages that are good for accurate info?

I really liked Richard Dawkins the god delusion. So something along those lines.

Thanks.

Anti religion ?!.
Church is the wrong place for that .

 

Go to your local library.
Head to the Science section.

 

Nope,i went on a church and when i left i was atheist.
It worked for me.

 

The best anti religion books I read were for a nice man who once worked with Bill Graham and then became Atheist due to the hypocrisy, lies and deception in religion . Right now I can not remember his name but if and when I remember I will post his name .

Sorry I should have said, I'm not looking to be convinced that religion is wrong/deluded I already know that. I was raised a Christian, went to bible college for a year to become a pastor and worked in a church for a year, then I studied religion a little at university. After all that I was totally convinced that religion was full of crap.

I'm just interested in knowing more about my new agnostic/borderline atheist beliefs.

And as I'm sure you all know, most of the books written out there are full of unsubstantiated crap, so I was asking for advice on some reputable authors who write in an academic but still interesting way.

Thanks for your help

 

Why do you need other people to tell you what your beliefs are?

 

'The Rejection of Pascal's Wager' by Paul Tobin http://webspace.webring.com/people/np/paul_tobin/

 

Are you really asking me why I want to be educated further on my beliefs?

Or are you trying to twist what I'm trying to say, by insinuating that I'm an idiot who is just going to believe whatever I read in the books that people recommend to me and that I should form my own beliefs without any education?

I'm not sure where you are coming from. Are you trying to put me down and be a prick, or are you really so stupid as to ask a person why they want to search for more knowledge concerning what they believe?

 

Thanks, you answered my question

I'm glad we got that straight. It's cleared it up nicely for me.

BTW cheers for those authors names. That Sam Harris book, letter to a christian nation looks promising.

 

Might not be anti-religion enough for you though. You could also try Dennett's Breaking the Spell. I think though you will like Hitchen's God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything and The Portable Atheist

Hitchens I think, will be more to your taste.

 

Thanks!
