The End of Faith--Secularism with the Gloves Off

By R. Albert Mohler, Jr|Christian Post Columnist

The End of Faith presents us with a portrait of secularism with its gloves off. Harris's argument is almost certain to be repeated again and again as America continues its slide into secularism and hostility toward all believers.

In today's climate of secular advance, the prophets of unbelief think time is on their side. Sam Harris's book is a wake-up call indeed, and it should awaken believers to the true character of aggressive secularism and the true agenda of its proponents.

Furthermore, believers should pay particular heed to Harris's argument about the nature of religious liberalism. As Joseph Hough's endorsement makes clear, when it comes time to hang belief in God on the gallows of modern secularism, the theological liberals will be more than willing to sell the rope--and endorse the book.
