I too would like to see atheism defended affirmatively from a philosophical
standpoint. Almost all debates I have seen or read seem to end with the
atheist claiming victory simply because the theist hasn't "conclusively"
proved his case. Let an atheist share the burden of proof, and let's
rumble!

I also highly recommend "Can Man Live Without God" by Ravi Zacharias (Word,
1994). Ravi does the best job I have seen of addressing the emotional (as
well as the intellectual) barrenness of atheism.
