The latest If Books Could Kill takes on Harris's The End of Faith, and is such a wonderful flashback to the second time I was disillusioned by a movement. (First was seeing a punk band in a jeans ad.)
The Four Horsemen taught me that atheism could be enacted *not* to question deeper social constructs built on religion, but to grant individual atheists power in a "debate" that needs to persist so speakers can retain fame within it.
Baby's first time with intellectual hucksters! Ah, memories. :)
*I should add that the only time you'll hear me be an obnoxious twerp about Christianity is when atheists and liberal Christians try to act like conservative Christians have no Biblical founding for their beliefs. This isn't a gotcha; it's about teaching us to come better prepared to policy and moral debate with people who absolutely have New Testament support for their horrible views, and will just think you a cherry-picking fool.
Other than that, though: big-tent humanism, baby! Believe away.
