Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris
Presents a hard-hitting rebuttal of religious fundamentalism and blind belief. With deceptively simple arguments, the author demolishes the myths on which Christianity was built, challenges believers to open their eyes to the contradictions of their faith and warns us of the dangers of America's ever increasing unification of Church and State.
I dare you to read this book.. it will not leave you unchanged. Read it if it is the last thing you do -- Richard Dawkins
Sam Harris's elegant little book is the most refreshing and wonderful source of ammunition for those who, like me, hold to no religious doctrine... Read it and form your own view, but do not ignore its message -- Roger Penrose
Sam Harris is a brave, intelligent, clear-sighted author whose brilliant essay should be read by every adult who has ever believed that a religious faith can solve the world's problems -- Desmond Morris
Harris and (Richard) Dawkins both share a wonderfully refreshing refusal to parse their language into more saccharine statements... Guaranteed to enrage all but the most delusional theist * Irish Independent *
Harris picks apart the very seams of Christian belief in such a convincing fashion that any shred of belief I had has now been obliterated. This is a good thing. We only get one life - why waste one minute of it on mumbo jumbo * London Lite *
