About this audiobook
The New York Times bestselling author, Chris Hedges, speaks out against those who attack religion to advance their own agenda: global capitalism, intolerance, and imperial projects.
There are two radical and dangerous sides to the debate on faith and religion in America: Christian fundamentalists, who see religious faith as their exclusive prerogative, and New Atheists, who brand all religious belief as irrational. Too often, the religious majority—those committed to tolerance and compassion as well as their faith—are caught in the middle.
Chris Hedges critiques the mindset that rages against religion and faith. He accuses the New Atheists—led by Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens—of promoting a belief system that is not, as they claim, based on reason and science, but on a simplified worldview of us vs. them, intolerance toward behaviors that are not understood, and the false myths of human progress and moral superiority. Ultimately, he makes way for new, moderate voices to join the debate. A timely, compelling work for anyone who wants to understand the true state of the battle about faith today.

Religion is a Psychiatric delusion created primarily by social conditioning and therefore has never actually been true. It's time to wake up and get a clue your sky daddy doesn't exist. This book is a perfect example of the delusion I'm speaking of.

Idiocy. The author spends a short time describing a contrary viewpoint he falsely attributes to several atheist or antitheistic authors, then spends several more hours railing against it. The issue is the viewpoint that he is arguing against does not belong to the subjects he has chosen. A total waste of time.

I don't have much to say about this piece of garbage. The title says it all about the mindset of the author.
