The Selfish Gene isn't about atheism and it's only a tad shorter than The God Delusion while being much more complicated. It's an excellent book, but it's also worth nothing that a lot has changed since it came out and many prominent biologists have significant issues with various sections. If it's the only evolution book you read you'll be left with a wanting understanding of the (ever-changing) discipline.

I'm in the midst of Godel, Escher, Bach. Boy. Don't start with that. Read it, but not first.
