Summary
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. This is a timely, compelling work for anyone who wants to understand the true state of the battle about faith today.

Absolutely riveting listen, just and true
Chris has nailed what is an overview of humanity, behaviours ,policies by uncovering motivations of all systems of belief that are extremist in nature.
So grateful for the wisdom he has shared through experiences very few of us have been able to acquire. Observing wars and conflicts , he has reflected on issues that take courage to voice .
Brilliant book ! Should be standard in every school.

A perfect description on moral absurdities.
Given today's technological innovations morality hasn't advanced since civilizations began. Religious or not both sides are deemed necessary rhetoric to justify ones actions "for the greater good."
This book opens your eyes to the hypocrisies of humankind and those that lead.
10/10

The truest book I've ever listened to.
Everyone needs to hear what Chris Hedges has to say. It's not about trying to make anyone believe in God or anything like that, have a listen.

thought provoking
I loved it. Many of the hypothesis in the book I myself alluded to,but I could never express myself as eloquently and as articulated as chris hedges

Absolute nonsense
I have seen interviews and debates with Chris Hedges and thought he would have some interesting things to say on the religion/atheism question. Aside from the silly title of this book all he seems to do is criticise the atheists he apparently doesn't believe in. I was expecting a unique and fascination take on the subject as a whole. So I found this a very disappointing listen.
