Atheism: A Very Short Introduction by Julian Baggin is a pocket sized volume that covers a lot of the bases while dealing with basic questions like the quality of evidence, purpose in life and openness to error that gives it a catholic (sic) feel. Marci Hamilton, a strict separationist conservative,
asks some questions of presidential candidates. Edwards and Obama come off pretty well.
Ellery's Protest by Stephen D. Solomon is a
good book on the
bible reading ruling, also reminding the negative consequences of religion bigotry.
