Monstrous Regiment is a brilliant standalone (with winks and nods to get the hooks in), a must for mulan fans.

Small Gods is also phenomenal, probably best suited to the non religious

As a devoutly religious person I disagree. Loved Small Gods. It's critique of organized religion is spot on, but it also shows the impact that a faithful man can have.

I think of Small Gods like how Terry Jones described Life of Brian: it’s heretical, but it’s not blasphemous. In other words, it has plenty of negative stuff to say about organized religion, but no particular problem with the idea of faith or God(s).
