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.

      🙋‍♀️ 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

      Reading bible, understanding what the real teachings of all religionse are at its core (be nice to each other, dont kill, help the poor, dont steal aso) and then have a look how many religiouse organisations work and how they go against their own core beliefs
