I've read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and found it a very interesting and intelligent book arguing the case for the non-existence of God. Dawkins, an unapologetic atheist writes that God is an invention of mankind and the Bible was written by men, not God. Similarly for other religious texts. People have been brainwashed from earliest times by the clergy for their own ends, usually to make their own fortunes. Dawkins examines all religions and says religion is responsible for most of the problems in the world, especially wars. The book was a bit ponderous to start with but well worth reading, though not all will be convinced by what he has to say. 4/5
