Lately I have been "reading" some books that people would call 'atheist books': (in this order)
"Letter to a Christian Nation"/Sam Harris
"The god Delusion"/Richard Dawkins
"The End of Faith"/Sam Harris
I agree with a lot of the arguments in those books (some even new to me), so I highly recommend them.
With that background information I stumbled upon this debate, which has pretty much the same arguments as in the books.
I would like to know:
Do people see this type of militant atheism as intolerant? Arrogant?
Is this approach to faith the right way to go? Does it have the right effect?
In the books I read, I don't remember reading about any kind of solution to the problem of overcoming faith. The one solution I did hear was this.
Do people actually see a likely solution?
