Reading the Bible cover to cover should be enough to drive you into non-belief. All silliness aside. I listened to allot of Alan Watts lectures and that gave me a better understanding or and self. He is a former Church Minister turned Buddhist / Philosopher.

Both Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene and Michael Shermer's The Moral Arc are excellent reads. Neither devotes an enormous amount of time toward the subject, directly, but their main points constantly provide a preponderance of evidence against the case of .

CS Lewis's Mere Christianity provided plenty of ammunition against Christianity, even though it sought to do the opposite. In a similar vein, the source material is pretty rich in contradiction and immorality, so you can't go wrong there, either.

I like watching YouTube skeptics and Penn Jillette.
If you really want reason to disbelieve, read any holy book.

I have to say the question itself makes me feel a little uneasy, like it presumes the purpose of reading about Atheism is to further entrench ourselves in our own echo chamber. Don't get me wrong, I think books and other materials about Atheism are fine but when someone thinks of them as an aid to becoming a purer, truer non-believer I have to think some how, some way, they're doing it wrong.

Well, in my opinion I prefer guiding me with scientific facts which consider logically true. By the way, reason is the best way to change people's mind.

I listen to a podcast called The Infinite Monkey Cage with Brian Cox and Robin Ince. It's hilarious, profound, and wonderfully educational.

No, I'm just want to enforce what a I believe and have more than arguments that supports what I think and trying to understand what academics tell us about this.

I don’t know if these will actually help you believe less. I think either you are convinced or you are not, but these books, I think, draw a good line and help parce the difference between reason and belief:

The End of Faith - Sam Harris
God is Not Great - Christopher Hitchens
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins
The Blind Watchmaker - Richard Dawkins
This one is on evolution and the evidence for life without design

The Bible Koran Torah the Book of Mormon and just ask your self " Can this be real "

I agree. For example in the Bible, Mark 13:25, "the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken." That's clearly impossible. The sun which is a relatively small star is a million times the size of the Earth. You may find things in books to help, but you must make the decision, and debunking things you have been taught is a good first step. Make a list of impossible things.

@EdEarl Unless of course its metaphorical!

@Geoffrey51 Metaphor. — Idleness is the rust of the soul. How is it metaphorical?

Much of C1st teaching was metaphorical, particularly the rabbinic tradition. The statement simply means major changes that are beyond experience

Hi, Max, and welcome to the website.

You can use google search to find books and articles on atheism, plus there are many YouTube videos on that subject. I googled this link just now and you can find others.

Top 10 Atheism Books

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve so here is some information that might be helpful for dating here.

New members are encouraged to earn website points, and help other members get to know them better, by writing an informational profile that includes their hobbies and interests, and answering all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

The website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Also many women prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find compatible partners.

People make comments and write their own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two someone can private email people. There are different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

To find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Click on the 'Meet" button to find member matches

Levels are mostly a way to help identify and reward those who contribute to the growth of the community. The website also gives more access and benefits depending on level.[agnostic.com]

Thank you very much for giving me the welcome to this website and telling me some advices here. I really appreciate it. Have a nice day!

What do you need other than your brain, reason, logic, skepticism, ability to understand reality. If there is evidence, facts and data to support the existence in any god(s) then present it, none has ever been presented, if there isn't any, then forget it and move on.

The Bible, filtered through common sense, seems to do a good job.

I really can’t give you any. Either you believe or you don’t. Written material is used by both sides as ‘proof’. Don’t make it so, either way. We can’t prove there’s NOT a god, just as they can’t prove there is. Just my opinion, of course.
