Harris lays out a rational case for how Christianity, which a majority of Americans believe is beyond question, creates serious social, political, and thinking problems. Unlike we were told as children that having a faith is a virtue, Harris demonstrates that faith can be applied to any relgious group, unfortunately they cannot all be right at the same time, but without evidence, no group can prove they have the corner on "truth." He posits that faith is not only a weakness, but outright dangerous, as many hideous acts have been carried out in the name of god, who is most probably himself a creation of man.
I feel his frustration with his audience in that they just don't "get it." I agree with almost all his points, however, he could have toned down the emotional intensity of some of his conclusions that may turn off "thinking" Christians, who he is trying to reach.Get more detail about Letter to a Christian Nation.
