What book or author has been helpful in your transition from religion to non-religion?
In fact best cure from religion is to read it, for example if you are Christian then you must read Bible first, then you will find reason why you should leave religion. BTW, Richard Dawkin's book, God's Delusion, Christopher Hitchen's book, God is not great are very common books.
Isaac Asimov, especially the Foundation series, where he shows how religion can be created to control population.
Someone else recommended his books. I will have to check him out.
I should add that the Foundation series is science fiction and made up of several books, so a long read.
He did an interview in 1988 which is illuminating and may help.
Also - God, No! Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales by Penn Jillette
I haven't read it, but it is on my to buy list. Knowing Penn, it will be funny, serious, enlightening, entertaining and above all - no BS
Isaac Asimov's Guide to the bible. He has a PHD in physics and spent his life writing science fiction. A very bright man who made his living with words.
I'm still in transition, partially because naybe I don't want to put a tag or a label on myself. Btw, I'm good at making labels, having studied some advertising and visual comm in college. And we Filipinos are good at labeling .. . . or maybe just name-calling, haha!
Here are some books that I've scanned, browsed, never found time to read from cover to cover:
The Master Key System by Charles Haanel.
Three Magic Words by U.S.Anderson
T.N.T. - It Rocks The Earth by Claude Bristol
The Magic Of Believing by Claude Bristol
Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsh
The Silva Method
Murphy's Law
The Jedi Book Series
History of The Illuminati
Chariots Of The God by Erich von Däniken
The Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin
Princes Of Plunder by David Guyatt
The Yamato Dynasty
The Secret Gold Treaty Series
Gold Warriors: America's Seceret Recovery Of The Yamashita Gold by Sterling and Peggy Seagraves
Erich von Däniken is a charlatan, it would be a complete waste of brain cells reading any of his rubbish.
