What a great thread,

I've enjoyed "Mere Christianity" and "Mists of Avalon" before. I am not a christian anymore so I think it would be interesting to read Mere Christianity again with a new perspective. Mists of Avalon got me thinking about the tyranny of christianity and the ancient beliefs of our ancestors, and thinking about they way the belief in a Goddess used to empower women. It is interesting to see how belief systems affect society.

Books that have impacted my life are

The Faith: A History of Christianity

A History of Jews, God, and Israel

Collapse & Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond

"Why God Won't Go Away: Brian Science and the Biology of Belief" by Dr. Andrew Newberg
