I wanted to pick up a new book soon and I was wondering if anyone here knew of any very well done (long) books that are about either falsifying, denouncing, poking fun at God, Creation and/or Religion?

can someone help me out?

Check out Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. Paints Jesus in a way that anyone without a sense of humor (read: fundies) would find horrifying. I think it's damn hilarious.

while not specificly about religion I recomend, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. One of the greatest books (or series of books if you want to get technical) ever written.

God is a cake, and we all know what the cake is.

(my spelling, grammer, and punctuation suck, I know, but regardless of how much I read they haven't improved much since grade school. It's actually a bit of a family joke.

Another extremely funny book, that includes a fake religion, is John Scalzi's "Android's Dream".
 
Quote from: "Booklist"An interstellar scandal explodes when a human diplomat assassinates an alien diplomat by farting at him, albeit using a scent-emitting communicator. To forestall interspecies war, the government enlists former war hero and current überhacker Harry Creek. His mission: to placate the aliens by finding a unique form of sheep used in the aliens' upcoming coronation ritual. The sheep, in this case, turns out to be unassuming pet-store owner Robin Baker, whose genes improbably incorporate ovine DNA. Before Baker can be secured and summarily dispatched, however, Creek must contend with a succession of meddlesome adversaries ranging from a cult of sheep worshipers to alien thugs itching for interstellar war.
