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.

      Matthew 22:36-40

      36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

      37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

      Basically sums up Christianity.
