NON-BELIEVERS this season fear not: there’s a Christmas book just for you, by atheist comedians, philosophers and scientists. Among my favourite stories in the science section are Richard Dawkins’s “The great bus mystery” and Nick Doody‘s history of the scientific discipline Christmasology (which will achieve great breakthroughs as soon as the Yule Hypercollider fires up at the North Pole to discover the Christmas particle).

Perfect for: the godless, good-humoured people on your list

The Atheist’s Guide to Christmas
