“ I certainly hope to start a conversation. And I’m not sure who the ‘converted’ are, in any case. My book seems to offend liberals and conservatives equally. Conservatives love what I have to say about the dangers of Islam but recoil at my attack upon Christianity. And liberals hate the case I make against Islam (due to its political incorrectness) but love my argument against the intrusions of Christian fundamentalism into social policy. Both sides seem poised to resist my core argument against faith itself. Perhaps the dedication in my book is more literal than most. I may have written The End of Faith only ‘for my mother.’ She, at least, agrees with me.
