3. HERE HERE!! Freedom From Religion Baby!
Everyone should read Sam Harris' book "The End of Faith".

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393327655/sr=8-1/qid=1151116293/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-1023778-8997728?%5Fencoding=UTF8

Simply stated, any belief system that speaks with assurance about the hereafter has the potential to place far less value on the here and now. And thus the corollary -- when death is simply a door translating us from one existence to another, it loses its sting and finality. Harris pointedly asks us to consider that those who do not fear death for themselves, and who also revere ancient scriptures instructing them to mete it out generously to others, may soon have these weapons in their own hands. If thoughts along the same line haunt you, this is your book.--Ed Dobeas

Harris argues that the time for religion, and religious tolerance, has come and gone.
