The author discusses some of the lies, evasions and faulty reasoning that can be found in the published works of Sam Harris, the famous militant atheist. For example, Harris rants about how awful the Catholic Church's child molestation scandal is, but he never admits that the crucial question is whether the average Catholic priest is more likely to commit a sex crime than the average American man, because he knows the answer is no. For another example, Harris says we should legalize amphetamines, but never admits that amphetamines sometimes cause violent crime. For a third example, Harris declares that Prohibition caused an increase in drinking, when all historians who have looked into this question know that Prohibition caused a significant reduction in drinking. All in all, Harris is clearly a man who doesn't care about honesty.
