There are countless books for or against religion and on every know sprirituality. Aside from the sacred religious text of your belief system, what one book would you like someone of another belief system to read for a basic understanding of yours?
Do not suggest your bible, koran, etc. they are too in depth for a basic understanding.

"This Is My God" by Herman Wouk.
"To Life" by Harold Kushner is also an easy read.

"Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris.
He does a wonderful job of CONCISELY explaining what is wrong with religious belief in this country. It's less than 100 pages, I recommend that everyone give it a read. You can do it in one sitting.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
A lot of people also really like Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton, but between the two, it's a matter of preference for the author's presentation style. I prefer Lewis.

I and thou by Martin Buber is in the ballpark but I am not sure of a single book that would do it all. Also G-d in search of man by Abraham Joshua Heschle is awesome.
Jehuda Halevi's Kuzari is also a good possibility.

The Poetic Edda...I'm not a Pagan but I really enjoy reading the stories contained therein. I encourage everyone to check it out sometime. Peace.

No book, just go to a forest and study the life there and make up your own conclusion.
If you really need a book, read some science fiction book.
