A Question of Faith

I have come across several excellent articles over the past few weeks (some posted below, some not) about faith in America, the place of atheists in society and the true value and effect of religious justification and personal prayer. I'm preaching to myself here so it's a little silly but for no other reason than to save these link, here are a few that I found especially intriguing:

Losing Our Religion - Jerry Adler

A Dissent: The Case Against Faith - Sam Harris

Thank Goodness - Daniel Dennett
