My grandfather, who I never met due to certain family rifts, converted to Islam as an adult and wrote a book called "Answers from an Atheist" or similar, I forget the exact title now. In it he documents a discussion between an imam and an atheist. I found it fascinating reading when I was a young teenager, but started to find the discussion from both sides ridiculous after a while. By the time I finished it, I was pretty well convinced that he'd made the whole thing up as a way to have an atheist pitch softballs at an imam so he could give easy answers without having to actually defend his beliefs. But it started me down a years long reading adventure of different religious views and arguments, including Russell's essay mentioned here.
