Bertrand Russell said (almost) all there is to be said

Back in 1927, before atheism became so mainstream that it got its own t-shirt, Bertrand Russell was kicking Christianity's ass in his spare time.

What I particularly like about this essay :

1. It is still as valid and relevant as it was a century ago.
2. Essentially all the points Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens et al made a splash with a few years ago, boiled down to a few paragraphs.
3. Delivered in a matter-of-fact, casual way, devoid of the modern day atheist polemic.
4. Does n't try to convince anyone that religious belief is irrational. I simply assumes it to be.
5. Doesn't give religion more credit than it is due, either implicitly or explicitly.
6. Doesn't assume an offensive, or defensive position.
