Most controversially, argues that moderate lip service to religion only blinds us to the real perils of fundamentalism. Harris also draws on new evidence from neuroscience and insights from philosophy to explore spirituality as a biological, brain-based need, and invokes that need in taking a secular humanistic approach to solving the problems of this world. 000290442 650_0 $$aReligion$$vControversial literature. 000290442 650_0 $$aTerrorism$$xReligious aspects. 000290442 650_0 $$aPsychology, Religious. 000290442 650_0 $$aSecular humanism. 000290442 85200 $$bgen$$hBL2775.3$$i.H37$$i2004 000290442 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0417/2004007874.html 000290442 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:290442$$pGLOBAL_SET 000290442 980__ $$aBIB 000290442 980__ $$aBOOK
