What type of books should I read to brush up on my philosophy/atheism (besides religious texts)?

Books that focus on the history and development of philosophy and atheism, such as Bertrand Russell's 'A History of Western Philosophy' or Michael Martin's 'The Cambridge Companion to Atheism', would be a great place to start. You could also explore books about the arguments for and against philosophy and atheism, such as Gerald Dworkin's 'Philosophical Atheism' or Susan Neiman's 'The Nature of Explanation'. Alternatively, if you'd prefer a more popular approach, Alain de Botton's 'The Consolations of Philosophy' offers philosophy through the lens of everyday life.
