Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Came here to say this.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
This from the restaurant at the end of the universe is the most apt beginning of any religion.

Any book that teaches logic or critical thinking skills.
There is one called “The Scout Mindset” by Julia Galef. It’s an amazing resource when it comes to teaching critical thinking, because it gradually introduces the reader to the virtue of being able to change your mind/opinion based on new information. I think that’s a fundamental skill everyone needs in order to use critical thinking in a meaningful way.
