Chris Hedges: I Don’t Believe in Atheists

On May 22nd, 2007 Chris Hedges and Sam Harris debated “Religion, Politics and the End of the World.” Hedges’ opening statement, in which he argues that Harris and other critics of faith have mistakenly blamed religion for the ills of the world, when the true danger lies in the human heart and its capacity for evil, can be found here. It's quite long, so settle back for a good solid read.

Chris Hedges is the son of a Presbyterian minister, but I'm not clear that he's a practising Christian himself. The link on his name gives details of his biography.

Sam Harris, like Richard Dawkins, has become a strong voice for atheism in the last decade. Some information about him is available in the link under his name.
