Religion, Rationality and Terror

The Maverick Philosopher has an instructive post on evidentialism and the ethics of belief in light of an argument from Sam Harris that religion qua religion is evil and dangerous.

I offered a rebuttal to Harris here.

UPDATE: In my original post I mistakenly identified Sam Harris as “John Harris.” Thanks to Bill Vallicella for pointing this out. The link to the piece seems to be broken; Harris’ op-ed from the L.A. Times can be seen here.
