Further Praise for
The End of Faith
"A radical attack on the most sacred of liberal precepts—the notion
of tolerance. . . . [
The End of Faith
] is an eminently sensible rally-
ing cry for a more ruthless secularisation of society."
—Stephanie Merritt,
The Observer
"Harris's tour de force demonstrates how faith—blind, deaf, dumb,
and unreasoned—threatens our very existence. His expose of
faith-based unreason—from the religious fanaticism of Islamic
suicide bombers to the secular fanaticism of Noam Chomsky—is a
clarion call for reasoned debate in this age of terrorism.
The End of
Faith
shows how the perfect tyranny of religious and secular total-
itarianism demonizes imperfect democracies such as the United
States and Israel. A must read for all rational people."
—Alan Dershowitz, professor of law at
Harvard University and author of
America on Trial
"[Harris] writes with such verve and frequent insight that even
skeptical readers will find it hard to put down."
—Daniel Blue,
San Francisco Chronicle
"At last we have a book that focuses on the common thread that
links Islamic terrorism with the irrationality of all religious faith.
The End of Faith
will challenge not only Muslims but Hindus,
Jews, and Christians as well."
"[Harris's] brief accounts of intuition, and of the notion of a 'moral
community,' are as good as anything I have read on these topics."
—John Derbyshire,
New York Sun
—Peter Singer, author of
The President of Good and Evil:
The Ethics of George W. Bush
"Here is a ringing challenge to all Americans who recognize the
danger to American democracy posed by the political alliance of
right-wing religion and politics and the failure of the tepid and
tentative responses by liberal persons of faith. While one might
dispute some of the claims and arguments presented by Harris, the
need for a wake-up call to religious liberals is right on the mark."
—Joseph C. Hough Jr., president of
Union Theological Seminary, New York
