About this listen

 Here is an impassioned plea for reason in a world divided by faith. This important and timely work delivers a startling analysis of the clash of faith and reason in today's world.

Harris offers a vivid historical tour of mankind's willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when those beliefs are used to justify harmful behavior and sometimes heinous crimes. He asserts that in the shadow of weapons of mass destruction, the world can no longer tolerate views that pit one true god against another. Most controversially, he argues that the we cannot afford moderate lip service to religion - an accommodation that only blinds us to the real perils of fundamentalism.

While warning against the encroachment of organized religion into world politics, Harris also draws on new evidence from neuroscience and insights from philosophy to explore spirituality as a biological, brain-based need. He calls on us to invoke that need in taking a secular humanistic approach to solving the problems of this world.

This book and books like it are what stand between us and the closed minded, pious religious amoung us, who would love nothing more than the world to end.

Sam Harris does an excellent job of defending his position on why civilization needs to do away with religion. While not perfect, I believe it is definitely worth a read/listen to anyone willing to consider what why religion is weighing humanity down.

A clear and reasoned critique on religion in all its dimensions. I highly recommend reading this. The only crime worse than burning books is not reading them.

Excellent

The narrators voice, intonation, and obvious disagreement with what he’s reading is so glaring that this is difficult to listen to. A real shame because the book itself is a well-written, logic based case for secularism that holds up even in 2021.

Audiobook narration is so bad that I can’t even listen
