We love hearing from all sides of the spirituality spectrum. As a former atheist myself (currently wandering the mists of pantheistic Taoist agnosticism) I am particularly interested in the recent surge in atheism in popular media. I keep flipping through books by Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett at the bookstore. Not sure which to read first, I decided to check out The Four Horsemen, a round table discussion featuring those four authors.

After watching the entire session, I was most put off by Christopher Hitchens who admitted that although he finds religion abhorrent, he wouldn’t want it to disappear completely because then he’d have no one to argue with. Yikes. However, I found myself gravitating towards Sam Harris. He seems most level headed and accepting of spirituality in some form. I will be sure to let you know how his books are.
