Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist by Dan Barker
Summary: preaching to the choir, anger, & strawmen.
The Christianity he rejects seems heavily influenced by fundamentalism. And, while some of his arguments are valid, many aren't convincing. Really, how many Christians are going to say "Hey, you're right! I can't prove the existance of God, so there's absolutely no reason to believe! Why didn't I realize that before?" Perhaps if I were an inerrantist or literalist I would have been threatened by some sections. But I'm not & I wasn't.
