No, I wouldn't suggest that one. I really don't remember it well from 
30 years ago, but think it *was* excellent -- but still not the *one* 
I would choose.

For a philosophical book that would be too difficult for the general 
public, I would pick J.L. Mackie's The Miracle of Theism.

I haven't read any of the recent popular books by Hitchens, Dawkins, 
etc. so I can't choose from among them.

I still have a soft spot for the philosophical and moral critique in 
George Smith's Atheism: The Case Against God.
