End of Faith

The book presents a critical examination of the conflict between faith and reason, highlighting humanity's tendency to prioritize religious beliefs over rational thought, often leading to harmful outcomes. The author argues against merely accommodating moderate religious views, emphasizing the dangers of fundamentalism, especially in a world with weapons of mass destruction. By integrating insights from neuroscience and philosophy, he advocates for a secular humanistic approach to address global issues, suggesting that spirituality can be understood as a biological necessity.
