The End of Faith

Natalie Angier, writing for the New York Times, called The End of Faith a "startling analysis of the clash between reason and religion in the modern world." She continues by explaining how Harris delivers "a vivid, historical tour of our willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs―even when these beliefs inspire the worst human atrocities." Though 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.
