Harris argues simply that it is not acceptable for religious belief to have any public influence. Chapters three to five aim to illustrate the damaging effect of religious belief both historically and today. He seeks to demolish the credentials of religious faith in chapter two. He sets out his stall in chapter one, underlining the urgency of the situation. Harris divides his book into seven chapters. Harris is reacting against modern Islamic terrorists and the religious elitism of the American government. He has written this book in order to convince the reader that all religious beliefs are absurd and are, furthermore, hazardous to us. Harris is a powerful communicator who gives much colour to the issues he is dealing with. Indeed, Harris does not want us to remain neutral about his primary subject of faith.
