The End of Faith

"The End of Faith" by Sam Harris argues that religious beliefs often hinder rational thinking and scientific progress. Harris suggests that faith—believing without evidence—can lead to conflict, violence, and misunderstanding. He advocates for a more skeptical, evidence-based approach to life's big questions, emphasizing reason and science over dogma. The book aims to promote secular values and encourage dialogue grounded in logic, to foster peace and understanding in a diverse world. Ultimately, Harris calls for moving beyond faith-based belief systems to create a more rational, compassionate society.
