Due to the manipulation of our global society by ancient doctrines, Sam Harris argues in The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of reason the ultimate thesis: religion is the basis of all human conflicts. Because faith bypasses all evidence, Harris believes that "we are building a civilization of ignorance" and that another direction should be taken lest we desire to meet our destiny. It's amazing how much detail Harris goes into. With each reference to religion, he notes their various weaknesses and incorporates well-argued arguments, including others, that support his view. Although there are flaws, The End of Faith is a worthwhile read that explores the particularities of all facets of religion. On a few occasions, it appears that Harris deviates from the intended path and rambles on about foreign ideas, concepts, or current states. which appear to have little or no relation to the subject presented. In the current situation, we have a list of offenses classified as “victimless crimes”. Crimes like these don't cause any significant harm to anyone, but people are still penalized. According to Harris, “the idea of ​​a victimless crime is nothing other than a judicial revival of the Christian notion of sin.” (Harris 159) The influence of faith on our laws continues as Harris goes into detail regarding drugs and alcohol. Any psychotropic drug attributed by its users to have spiritual or religious significance is prohibited. In this case, Harris proposes a reduction by absurdity which, in a nutshell, declares that something as harmful as alcohol is legal while "as a drug, marijuana is almost unique in that it has several medical applications and no known lethal doses” (Harris 161). ) but is consi...... middle of paper...... doctrines which are held in such high esteem compared to those of mythical beings and objects. Disregarding reason and adopting precepts that inspire the worst atrocities is an absurd and illogical direction that humanity has taken. Harris is correct in his analysis of religion, asserting that it is "nothing more than bad concepts replaced by good ones forever." It is the denial – both hopeful and fearful – of the immensity of human ignorance. (Harris 221) Although sometimes wordy, Harris's assertions regarding the course of humanity are truly revealing. We are at the forefront of the development of our society, and with each passing day we learn and understand more about the current situation. If we want to live in a rational, thinking world, we must “bring together reason, spirituality and ethics…this would also be the end of faith.” (Harris 221)
