Few book suggestions for you:

Greatest Show on Earth

The Moral Landscape.

Godless( if you don't already have it)

A Universe From Nothing

Ancestor's Tale ( some of these are evolutionary, but have been proven to help in debates with theists,atothetheist tested them himself.)

Why I Am Not A Chistian.( Bertrand Russell., I think I misspelled his name.)

The Selfish Gene

The Extended Phenotype

The Blind Watchmaker

Climbing Mount Improbable.

Letter to a Christian Nation.

Good Sense Without God this is an awesome read, and plus its free on this site. I would HIGHLY recommend this guy. He is like the Christopher Hitchens before.... Well, Christopher Hitchens.

Documentary:

The God That Wasn't There.

Gosh, that's an oldie. I always liked him - seemed like an ok guy.

It does deserve a mention - I think it won an Oscar for best documentary.

Updated with further books suggestions, and documentary suggestions. I had forgotten about Marjoe! Thanks for the reminder.

I added a new section "Resources for Parents". There are only a couple of entries so far, but further suggestions would be helpful.

Planned future sections are:

Blogs
Atheist and skeptical organizations
Debates
Secular Charities (Really need help with this one, I don't know a lot about charities)

Further suggestions for the established sections, and any suggestions for new sections would be most welcome.

I'll work on adding the info on the gnostic gospels tomorrow. Providing links to your suggestions when you know where to find them would be helpful. It reduces time spent finding them and inputting them into BB code.

Everything is really starting to come together, I really appreciate all of the help.

No problem dude. It even got stickied for easy viewing for more views! Now this thing can be awesome.

How about some atheist websites like some counter apologetics:

Iron Chariots Wiki

And maybe EvilBible.com.

Some of these sites were really helpful in my deconversion so I hope that other are able to have easy access.
