Any intelligent books written on the nature of faith? They can be critiques of faith, or argue in favor of it, I just want to look at this beyond the typical arguments of "Yee haw I love god" and "All people who believe in god are stupid and reddit is the best!"

Most arguments for faith aren't "Yee haw I love god."

You might enjoy C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity".
You would also profit from knowing what faith actually is.
Faith is the human ability to believe what you have not personally seen. Everyone has faith, and everyone uses faith. It's not the possession of or use of faith that is critical in religion; it's the object of that faith.

Augustine's Confessions
Kierkegaard's works like Fear and Trembling

Keeping an open-mind is intelligent. There could be a god and that god could be a slimy snake or frog.
But it's reasonably, sanely and intelligently unlikely there is a god as described in any boy's bible. They are written by inadequate, insecure guys who have to believe the first child on earth was a guy: when it was likely a girl and she grew up and birthed an inadequate male child, that had to believe he was first.
There are no males more pathetic than religious guys. Especially islam, which seems to be a rape and pedophile culture. The christians are mostly only a pedophile culture.
