There are hundreds of books on the subject including, but not limited to, popular best-sellers by the so-called New Atheist group (Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchen, Sam Harris, etc), and I have read many over the years. I have also read the Bible - trust me - although admittedly not for many years. Here is a selection of books I have read or re-read recently while preparing this website:
