The Transcendental Temptation by Paul Kurtz (available as an e-book). Kurtz offers a spirited defense of his atheism and the life of reason, but doesn't treat those who oppose his views with condescension. In fact, he has a proven track record of working together with people of faith in those areas where they share overlapping goals. In
The Transcendental Temptation, he examines why people are drawn to unprovable religious ideas that fly in the face of reason.
