Recommendations for agnostics, atheists (Books, video's, etc)

What books, video's, movies, organizations would you recommend to anyone interested or curious to learn about agnosticism or atheism?

Example #1: The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins can be found on youtube, but is also available on Amazon.

Example #2: The Freedom From Religion Foundation ffrf.org works as effective state/church watchdog and voice for freethought (atheism, agnosticism., skepticism)

The Thinking Atheist Podcast by Seth Andrews, can be found on YouTube as well as other videos of his presentations. Finding him in the summer of 2016, along with a variety of life events, helped me find my way back out of Christianity.

I really liked Losing "My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting on Religion in America and Found Unexpected Peace" by William Lobdell. It was the first book I read as I was making my transition out of belief. Very validating and eye-opening. [amazon.com]
I have also been listening to the Cosmic Skeptic on YouTube. He's a young guy but I really like how he simplifies so many things.

I love Monty Python "Life of Brian" which is actually a cutting parody but the comedy is sooooo good that the average viewer forgets how hard hitting it really is. I have read most of the books outlined in the comments below and I can't say there is a single book that I really identified with that gave me great strength to identifying with Atheism. I did enjoy reading the book that I plugged a couple of weeks ago "Why god is impossible" as it is very short, scientifically based and I like the school homework way in which it is presented. There is a free download here [rrdeehan.com]

Thinking, Fast and Slow.

It's not about religion per se, but rather the complex animals that we are. It's a fascinating insight into the human mind.

I can also recommend Drunk Tank Pink, which is a quick read on similar lines and Your Brain is (Almost) Perfect.

"Drunk Tank Pink" sounds like a good read, hic!

That’s cool. I’ll read just about anything.
