Book recommendation

I just finished reading God Collar by Marcus Brigstocke, who is best known for being a comedian. It's a long time since I read a book and immediately started it again with a highlighter in my hand, but that's the case here. It's witty, in some places eye-wateringly funny, poignant, moving, honest, devastating in its even-handed criticism of religion and not pulling punches about the failings of the non-religious either. He bares what I can only call his soul in a very courageous way. The sheer humanity touched me. If anyone thinks non-religion is easy, a simple rational choice, here is something they need to read.
