Welcome Alzoids !

My recommendation would be 'Handbook for Mankind' by Buddhadasa Bhikkhu which is available as an E-book in pdf format:

http://www.suanmokkh.org/archive/pdf/handbook.pdf

Also, as you're interested in Theravada, its worth having a look at the resources at the Access to Insight website:

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/begin.html

and also checking our Study Links section.

Sorry I can't be more helpful with book recommendations.

I'm still confused on a major aspect, is this an Atheistic religion?

Buddhists don't believe in a god....more at the link below.
