Sam Harris offers a vivid historical tour of mankind's willingness to suspend reason in favour of religious beliefs, even when those beliefs are used to justify harmful behaviour and sometimes heinous crimes. He asserts that in the shadow of weapons of mass destruction, we can no longer tolerate views that pit one true god against another. Most controversially, he argues that we cannot afford moderate lip service to religion -- an accommodation that only blinds us to the real perils of fundamentalism. While warning against the encroachment of organised religion into world politics, Harris also draws on new evidence from neuroscience and insights from philosophy to explore spirituality as a biological, brain-based need. He calls on us to invoke that need in taking a secular humanistic approach to solving the problems of this world.Hide synopsis

Si, es muy triste saber ya en los 40 aŅos de edad, que hay mucha verdad fuera de los asuntos religiosos, que pocos sabran alguna vez. Estoy sorprendido por lo mucho que las ideas de Harris, se parecen a las que yo desde hace muchos aņos me vengo haciendo. Es un alivio saber que uno no esta solo en ...

The book has false information in some parts but the problem is that Sam seems to claim to be an authority or at times takes for granted the authority of the people he quotes. How I wish there was a way to exchange with him for a rebuttle!

And what else is new here? Nothing. However I wish that was it. The author, probably living in an "ivory tower" of total disconection with the real world, proposes "all religions be eliminated". Or at least that is what he is saying or I am understanding it. I agree that religions have committed ...

The heavily annotated book really opened my eyes & helped me realize that I am a believer in those things confirmed by reason & scientific ...

Though Sam Harris has some valid points, he becomes so fanatical in his diatribe against religion that he quickly loses credibility. I'm not certain that "anti-religious" zealots are any more sane than religious zealots. If some religion doesn't bring him peace, perhaps therapy might help.
