Do you believe that God exists? Without a doubt? You certainly aren't alone, in the US or around the world. Nor, most likely, will anyone ever question why you have no doubts about God's existence, despite the utter lack of evidence.
Sam Harris' book "The End of Faith" makes a compelling argument that reason must triumph over (western) religion, and quickly - before we all blow ourselves to pieces because your book was different than their book.
This is an important book that lays out a strong and logical argument that the religion of the last few thousand years no longer works in our modern world. My biggest question after reading the book is how to take these very important ideas into the political realm. Given the current state of US politics, it's hard to see it happening here anytime soon.
