I've related my experience with a ghost…

Because not existing… does not exist.

Not explicitly atheist books; most books are not particularly concerned with belief or lack of belief in a god or gods.

I'm currently reading Baggini's "How the World Thinks" (it's a bit scrappy), and Damasio's "Looking for Spinoza" in conjunction with Spinoza's "Ethics".

Lack of concern for your afterlife.

Lack of concern for your superstitions.
