Publisher's Summary

"Forty-four percent of the American population is convinced that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead sometime in the next 50 years," writes Sam Harris. "Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the U.S. government actually believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this, purely on the basis of religious dogma, should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency."

In response to his award-winning best seller The End of Faith, Sam Harris received thousands of letters from Christians excoriating him for not believing in God. Letter to A Christian Nation is his courageous and controversial reply. Using rational argument, Harris offers a measured refutation of the beliefs that form the core of fundamentalist Christianity. Addressing current topics ranging from intelligent design and stem-cell research to the connections between religion and violence, Letter to A Christian Nation boldly challenges the influence that faith has on public life in the United States.

Brilliant

If you need a pocket guide on why religion’s presence is utterly unnecessary and thoroughly offensive in contemporary society then this is it. Narrator was brilliant (even sounds a little like Sam Harris). Hat’s off to Sam Harris

Well done!!!

A very informative piece by Sam Harris. An excellent short book for anyone interested in the fallicies of the bible and the rubbish that christians believe. Athiest and believers should find this book interesting.

Too short

No discount in cost to buy for an audio book that is under 2 hrs long.. same cost as 18hr long books.. if it wasn't for this I'd give it 5 stars
