"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.


Chris Hedges is The New York Times bestselling author of American Fascists and War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning. He was a member of the team that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for The New York Times' coverage of global terrorism.
