What About Gods? by Chris Brockman (ages 5 and up) [One Christian found this book to be a "bluntly condensed enforcement of a system of faith." The book bluntly denies gods exist and bluntly asserts that all gods are figments of the imagination. As such, it is more a profession of faith than either an argument for atheism or an examination of theisms versus atheism. Thus, this book should only be selected by parents who want to encourage their children to believe that gods are only as real as the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.]
