I really don't think there is an atheist alive who better expresses how insane it is that the bulk of humanity lets their beliefs about an afterlife dominate every single facet of their lives than Sam Harris.

Sam Harris' latest article God's Dupes further demonstrates exactly why I like this guy's writing so much.
Here's a snippet:
Every one of the world's "great" religions utterly trivializes the immensity and beauty of the cosmos. Books like the Bible and the Koran get almost every significant fact about us and our world wrong. Every scientific domain — from cosmology to psychology to economics — has superseded and surpassed the wisdom of Scripture.
Everything of value that people get from religion can be had more honestly, without presuming anything on insufficient evidence. The rest is self-deception, set to music.

Well said. But humans love their little myths, don't they?
Sad.
