Recommended Athiest Reading
I am breaking my Friday-Only writing rule to answer what I think is an excellent question by a Mr Ruiz:
Who do you consider to be the most articulate and firmly-grounded spokesmen for atheism? Who did you read and admire prior to your conversion?
In not quite Chronological Order:
1. Lucretius (albeit technically a type of polytheistic deist)
2.The anonymous author of the TREATISE OF THE THREE IMPOSTORS (admittedly, this one I recommend more for its interest as a historical curio than for the rigor of its logic)
3. Thomas Paine Age of Reason (again, technically a Deist rather than an atheist, but close enough).
4. Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll– Nearly anything by this author is worth reading for the committed and serious atheist.
