This is most definitely a book you’ll either love or hate, because whether or not you’ll end up agreeing with Harris you’ll still be moved by his words. For good or bad.
The End of Faith is quite likely the most brutal and in-your-face criticism of religious faith I’ve ever read, and one thing is for sure: Harris is VERY convinced that the monotheistic faiths and their followers are our version of Mordor and its evil creatures determined to ruin the world as we know it. More or less every single page of the book contains one or more sneers (some of them quite funny, too) aimed at the insanity in believing ancient scriptures and ideas that cannot be proven empirically nor discussed rationally. In Harris’ universe, this world of ours will face utter ruin any day now, and the religions – especially Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – are all to blame.
