Excellent new book: "The End of Faith"

Excerpts of some reviews of 'The End Of Faith', by Sam Harris

The New York Times

“The End of Faith articulates the dangers and absurdities of organized religion so fiercely and so fearlessly that I felt relieved as I read it, vindicated, almost personally understood...Harris writes what a sizable number of us think, but few are willing to say in contemporary America...his is an important book, on a topic that, for all its inherent difficulty and divisiveness, should not be shielded from the crucible of human reason.”



The Los Angeles Times

“Harris...has written an unabashed antireligious polemic — so unabashed and so antireligious that one wonders how he found a mainstream publisher when, as he astutely observes, ‘criticizing a person’s faith is currently taboo in every corner of our culture.’”
