Product Information
In The End of Faith , Sam Harris delivers a startling analysis of the clash between reason and religion in the modern world. He offers a vivid, historical tour of our willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs--even when these beliefs inspire the worst human atrocities. While warning against the encroachment of organized religion into world politics, Harris draws on insights from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern mysticism to deliver a call for a truly modern foundation for ethics and spirituality that is both secular and humanistic. Winner of the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for Nonfiction.Product Identifiers

ReviewsSam Harris launches a sustained nuclear assault.... A brave, pugilistic attempt to demolish the walls that currently insulate religious people from criticism.... Badly needed., [Harris's] brief accounts of intuition, and of the notion of a 'moral community,' are as good as anything I have read on these topics., A radical attack on the most sacred of liberal precepts--the notion of tolerance.... An eminently sensible rallying cry for a more ruthless secularisation of society., While one might dispute some of the claims and arguments presented by Harris, the need for a wakeup call to religious liberals is right on the mark., Shows how the perfect tyranny of religious and secular totalitarianism demonizes imperfect democracies such as the United States and Israel. A must read for all rational people., This book will strike a chord with anyone who has ever pondered the irrationality of religious faith.... Even Mr. Harris's critics will have to concede the force of an analysis which roams so far and wide, from the persecution of the Cathars to the composition of George Bush's cabinet.

Hi time to get rid of all religious fantasy which controlls all intelligents in the human mind
Religions are conspiracy theories Religion is quite a game RELIGION HAS SEVERE LIMITATIONS Religion is a tax on the fools who chose to believe it The above is a collection written by masters of literature Check Albert Einstein on religion , he certainly wrote with words of disgust against any religion , not to mention his statements how uneducated humans have been and remain to this day under the lies of religion . Of course Einstein was a physicist , physics , which is the absolute of all elementals in the universe , so , put it on the table , let me understand with my 5 sense- perception , that would be proof , absolutely proof .Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

God is not Great
I am not an atheist, but I love the book. Religion has destroyed everything. Specifically Christianity in its early years. Today, fundamentalist Islam. When will Islam live and let live? It is a hopeless religion.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great story and Sam Harris delivers his stories in a beautiful and relatable way. It's almost more like hearing him talk than reading.
