Sam Harris, outspoken atheist and author of the popular book “The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason,” describes several misconceptions religious people have about atheists during a talk at the 2007 Aspen Ideas Festival. He elegantly debunks some of the most commonly heard misconceptions about the inability of atheists to be more than just ancestors of monkeys and the evil often attributed to atheism because of the actions of Stalin and Hitler (both of which were hardly secular and used religious beliefs to committee their heinous crimes.) Sam is a great speaker and his books are a pleasure to read. He is one of the most well known atheists along with Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins.
