Description
"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....Harris writes what a sizable number of us think, but few are willing to say."—Natalie Angier, New York Times
Reviews
"A genuinely frightening book.... Read Sam Harris and wake up." — Richard Dawkins, The Guardian
"Sam Harris launches a sustained nuclear assault.... A brave, pugilistic attempt to demolish the walls that currently insulate religious people from criticism.... Badly needed." — Johann Hari, The Independent
"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." — Stephanie Merritt, The Observer
"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." — Alan Dershowitz, professor of law at Harvard University and author of America on Trial
Awards
