The Four Horsemen: The Conversation That Sparked an Atheist Revolution by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel C. Dennett, Stephen Fry, Sam Harris
challenging

informative
reflective

5.0
This book was published last year with introductory essays by three of the men (Hitchens is dead) and is a transcript of a famous conversation the four had in 2007, which can still be viewed on YouTube. (Yes, I know this book is by a bunch of old white dudes but it is what I found in the library; I have plans of diversifying my atheism education, never you fear.) I still recommend the book over the video, though, for these introductory essays. An excerpt because Meemaw loves you:
“Atheists have the intellectual courage to accept reality for what it is: wonderfully and shockingly explicable. As an atheist you have the moral courage to live to the full the only life you’re ever going to get: to fully inhabit reality, rejoice in it, and do your best finally to leave it better than you found it.” Richard Dawkins 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔/🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
