Atheists Gather Book Popularity - Just Blowing off Steam?
Atheists Continue Best Seller Popularity.
Take a read of the article above. Atheist writers are being rewarded with big book deals for bashing Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. For many, the rise of fundamentalism in any religion is too much, they say buck religion. I really don't know what they heck they're talking about though (and I need to read their books before I bash what they say.) But are you really arguing and providing evidence that there is no god? Or are you just complaining at the seemingly stupid brand of religion that dominates mainstream media.
If it's the latter then I agree and wish I thought about writing a book about it before you did. If it's the former, which it isn't, then you aren't really an atheist, you're just a cranky agnostic.

Yes, you're right, you should pick one up and read it. Most of the angry reviews I've read are from people who haven't read any of the books (I'm not making this up). Let me recommend to you 'Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon' by Daniel C. Dennett, one of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (http://tinyurl.com/3cseg4), along with Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens.
