Hello Everyone,

As someone who’s religious beliefs are on a shaky ground, what books on atheism can you recommend me to read?

I’m looking for something for beginners / down-to-earth.

    From what I hear, reading The Bible is a lot of people’s first steps towards atheism.

      🙋‍♀️ grew up with a religious mother, went to church every Sunday, did bible study and got baptized as a teenager. Then I went to college and continued reading the Bible on my own. Without anyone else shaping/interpreting what I read, I quickly disagreed with the text. It was interesting to see how much the church’s interpretation can differ from your own when reading the same text
