The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
Dawkins may be better known in the UK. Being an atheist is quite taboo in the States. Most people do not know him. For anyone here who does not, he is a biologist, evolutionist, philosopher (?) and atheist. In this book he talks about why he thinks religion does more harm than good. He makes many good points. I started this book as an Episcopalian (Anglican), and now I'm not sure. By the end I may be an atheist.
Now, I already had some doubts. One book alone is not THAT powerful.
