Best case for atheism?

[Pate]

This is especially for the atheists of this forum, but of course fellow theists may also give their opinion.

What book would you recommend as presenting the strongest case for atheism?

I've understood that the following are among the best:

The Miracle of Theism by J. L. Mackie
Arguing for Atheism by Robin Le Poidevin
Atheism - The Philosophical Justification by Michael Martin?

Would you agree? What other books would you recommend?

Pate:

I would indeed agree. You might also check out:

Nonbelief and Evil by Theodore Drange and

On the Nature and Existence of God by Richard Gale

If one is going to read the latter, it might be helpful if one first reads Swinburne's The Existence of God or at least familiarizes oneself with Swinburne's probabilistic arguments for theism.

It might also be helpful to familiarize oneself with Plantinga's modal ontological argument.
