Is atheism "in"? There are multi-page expositions in national news weeklies and two books advocating an atheist viewpoint have been on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list for a month.

Nice review Tim. I just started reading the book last night. "End Of Faith" was one of the best books I have read on the subject, and this one is a great follow up, although extemely short. Sam Harris has made several radio and TV appearences lately, and he is as good of a speaker as he is a writer. I am amazed at how well he is able to articulate his positions and challenges when dealing with theists without getting frustrated beyond belief. He has several links to some recent radio and TV appearances on his website that I recommend checking out.

Richard Dawkins talks about De-religionalizing the world. This guy is stupid or what! Religions are viruses... WTF!?!
Where does this guy get his balls to endorse the means of stripping an individuals right to freedom of religion and faith... this so reminds me of the purpose of concentration camps. Just because he is not intune with spirituality, doesn't make it right for him or any other atheist to preach their hate filled words against others who believe in a deity. Dawkins is a mis-informed and very prejudiced.

Harry: To debunk religion is not to strip any individual of any of their rights nor does it mean that people who don't believe in god lack spirituality...
