There are two that I quite enjoyed. One is right up your alley, the other less so.
First one I recommend is "Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists". I found it to be well-written, sincere, and remarkably intense.
Second is "Lost Christianities", which is more a historical text than an atheist one. This one delves into the almost innumerable versions of Christianity vying for dominance following the alleged death of Jesus. It's written from the perspective of a Christian who wanted to learn more about his faith, and was overwhelmed and shocked at the sheer amount of differences and digressions he discovered.
Happy reading.
Great video! I highly recommend the book Godless. Dan Barker was an evangelical christian who dedicated his life to christianity. I think the book resonates well with christians because they can relate to his life.
I know of a couple of books written by ex-evangelicals that might be useful to you at this time in your life:
godless
or Why I Believed
Why I believed is also free here
Both authors state that they are atheist now but both were raised in and held positions of authority in church. The first book "Godless" may be offensive to some people IMO the second seems a little roughly written but pro christian in its own way.
