The End of Faith, by Sam HarrisThe Clash of Faith and Reason
This important and timely book delivers a startling analysis of the
clash of faith and reason in the modern world. The End of Faith
provides a harrowing glimpse of mankind’s willingness to suspend
reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when these beliefs inspire
the worst of human atrocities. Harris argues that in the presence of
weapons of mass destruction, we can no longer expect to survive our
religious differences indefinitely. Most controversially, he maintains
that “moderation” in religion poses considerable dangers of its own:
as the accommodation we have made to religious faith in our society
now blinds us to the role that faith plays in perpetuating human
conflict. While warning against the encroachment of organized
religion into world politics, Harris draws on insights from
neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern mysticism in an attempt to
provide a truly modern foundation for our ethics and our search for
spiritual experience.

The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason by Sam
Harris is a genuinely frightening book about terrorism, and the
central role played by religion in justifying and rewarding it. Others
blame “extremists” who “distort” the “true” message of religion.
Harris goes to the root of the problem: religion itself. Even moderate
religion is a menace, because it leads us to respect and “cherish the
idea that certain fantastic propositions can be believed without
evidence”. Why do men like Bin Laden commit their hideous cruelties?
The answer is that they “actually believe what they say they believe”.
Read Sam Harris and wake up.

Sam Harris believes himself, too. Guess that's what makes the world go
round. ;-)

At an outreach center, at churches, and at Alano clubs. The link site
is about spirituality and becoming closer to God.
I attend church (religion) on Sundays, but speak with my HP everyday.
Man and churches have done alot of things "in the name" of God that are
very anti-spiritual and un-Godly.
