Sam Harris is a flaming liberal and opponent of all religious beliefs. This recent column in the Los Angeles Times makes a pretty good case that liberals are attempting to commit civilizational suicide:

This editorial is by Sam Harris, a critic of all theistic religion, whose recent book The End of Faith caused a stir despite its blatant caricatures of Christianity. Nevertheless, Harris sees that American liberalism is unable to discern the real threats we face from the jihadists. Despite my disagreements with his atheism and much of his morality, his chastisement of oblivious liberalism is a needed tonic. Coming from him, it may have more salience than if written by a Christian or non-Christian conservative.
