I've been reading some really awesome books lately, so here're some recommendations for history nerds who are atheist:

The Origin of Satan: How Christians Demonized Jews, Pagans, and Heretics

The Passover Plot

The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle

The first gave me a ton of background on the intended audience of the gospels. Huge enjoyment. Very engaging.

The second reveres Jesus as a man who was incredibly intelligent and engineered his own sacrifice. Still reading.

The third examines teachings that salvation is found within and requires no higher authority. No wonder it was suppressed.
