Anyways, if you're after a more academic spin on the question of Atheism that seems to be a popular subject for authors recently, you might want to pick up George Smith's "Atheism." He's a very well-read author with an acute sense of rationality and logic. With great detail and patience he presents the most common arguments for theism available to the general reader. He even delves into some of the more obscure arguments for the existence of god, all of which he slashes down with an increasing appetite for destruction. This is really the only downfall of this book that I noticed was his not-so-unbiased view of Christianity and religious faith in general. He seems to possess a personal vendetta against religious faith. It's likely he is a disenchanted religious person himself. It's a great read for long-time atheist looking for a rational, academic bash on Christianity and theist logic. All in all, a book I enjoyed.
