Book • 2006
In 'Letter to a Christian Nation', Sam Harris responds to the feedback he received after the publication of his first book, 'The End of Faith'.

He critiques the moral and intellectual implications of religious dogma, particularly in areas such as stem-cell research, condom use in Africa, and the prevention of HIV and AIDS.

The book is written in the form of an open letter to a Christian in the United States, aiming to challenge the influence of faith on public policy and societal values.
