Atheists, what is the most convincing literature supporting atheism?

Simple, and to the point, without much brain-racking arguments or logic.

Addressed to the modern mind, in present day English.

With practical arguments appealing to the average mind , not form a philosophical point of view.

Additional:

websites will be better than books.

witty quotes are good too, so I won't have to read lengthy texts.Thank you for all your suggestions.

         You want to see some literature supporting the proposition that I don't believe in God?  Sorry, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it.

         I don't believe in anything that lacks empirical evidence.  The evidence for your existence is kind of marginal.

    The bible.

    No one rational could read that collection of insane and absurd barbaric bad fan fiction, and believe a word of it.

    The bible is by far the best anti religion book. Its so full of nonsense that its embarrassing to humanity that anyone believes it.

    Try bible based books like 

    God: The most unpleasant character in all fiction.

    Drunk with Blood: Gods killings in the bible

    And for a personal story with some well researched pulling apart of Christianity try Godless by Dan Barker

    Christianity "itself". 

     

    When you have to go dumpster diving in a bible for morals,

    salvation, forgiveness, a savior that promises to build you a

    mansion in Heaven, and every means of avoiding common sense,

    all you are, is a “christian”. 

    That is all the reason that an Atheist will ever need.

    The fact that most every religion has some form of holy text, which the adherents to that religion consider to be true.  The "right" one is typically that which your parents told you was right, prior to the development of critical thinking, assuming you ever developed it.  And your religion is most often tied to where you were born. Seems a tad arbitrary.

    I agree with what Isaac Asimov said: "Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived."  If you read the Bible with an open mind and try to actually make sense of it then it can only lead to one conclusion: it's a load of rubbish.
