When I finished "Outliers" I continued to read Here Comes Everybody (and still am) and started Losing My Religion by William Lobdell. He was a born again Christian in his 20's and became a religion correspondent for the LA Times. While writing he came to a major turning point in his faith.
I'm only about 1/2 way through and am very curious to see how he changes his thoughts. I appreciate people who are open to change and who are flexible about the world and religion and ideas and theories.
I loved Julia Sweeney's one-woman show "Letting Go Of God" a few years back. She made me really consider my own beliefs -- the gauzy "spiritual" nature of whatever those beliefs are. And after reading a good chunk of The God Delusion, I can say I am an atheist. I have always believed in people first and foremost and our own inner spirits. Some people call that inner spirit God. Fine. I call it my own inner spirit.
