Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion.
I highly recommend it to anyone, irrelevant of your religious beliefs (or lack thereof). It is intelligent, well written, and humorous.
Fair warning though: English is not my first language, but i now have better mastery of English than Swedish. Despite this, i came across a few words that i did not recognize, nor could really determine what they meant through context. I was on vacation when i started to read, now that i'm back i have a dictionary at hand. Richard Dawkins is a high-level professor and evolutionary biologist, he enjoys using English words of complex meaning (which means they remain relatively unknown to those of us who enjoy keeping our linguistic communications on a simpler level).
