Further, he deconstructs the very nature of religious belief. In fact, in his view religious moderates are just as guilty as their fundamentalist counterparts for propagating doctrines and beliefs that have no factual basis in reality. Harris leaves no mode of religious conviction untouched, failing to spare even the progressive Christians of the world. He illustrates the logical inconsistencies that saturate modern religious discourse and those he sees as inherent to Biblical literature, ultimately presenting scientific reason as the only viable alternative. Fighting religious fervor with wit, sarcasm, and unrestrained honesty, Harris combats what he sees as toxic religiosity by assuming an uncompromising position in favor of science, decisively positioning himself against organized religion.
The book demonstrates and unapologetically challenges the hypocrisy of contemporary Christianity, pointing out the incompatibility of dogmatic beliefs with modern scientific views of the world and questioning the overall benefit of being a person of faith in light of contradictory evidence. Letter to a Christian Nation is written as an open response to the plethora of criticisms Harris received after writing his first book, The End of Faith. Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris.
