The End of Faith (Sam Harris)

"The End of Faith" by Sam Harris argues that religious beliefs can lead to irrational thinking and harmful behaviors, advocating for a rational and scientific approach to understanding the world. Harris asserts that faith, particularly in the context of religion, can foster intolerance and conflict, especially in a modern society facing global threats. He encourages a move towards secularism and reason, urging that society should prioritize evidence-based understanding over dogma. Ultimately, he posits that overcoming faith could lead to a more peaceful and rational world.
