Just take the volume that collects; Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Genealogy of Morals, Ecce Homo, and the Birth of Tragedy.
Once you finish the entire volume, you will become a god.

beyond good and evil by nietzsche is a good philosophy one that's non christian

I'm a fan of nietzsche also, but his writings does not focus on religion. It is more of an observation to the societal hypocrisy.
