nerd teacher [books] reviewed The End of Faith by Sam Harris
This was a hate read.
1 star
This book is nonsense, and I'm not sure how this helped launch a wider New Atheist "movement" of faux intellectuals rallying against religion (but I can guess, since it's a post-2001 book that included a lot of racist trash about Muslims with huge red flags in every other way for other forms of bigotry).
Sam Harris is a piece of shit, and he's only harmed other atheists. (Signed, a queer atheist who never had a place in atheist communities and left a lot of them because too many cishet white men were sucking up all the oxygen with their bigoted rhetoric, and people were happier for marginalised and vulnerable people to leave than to excise the disgusting human beings within them.)
