“Indeed, religion allows people to imagine that their concerns are moral when they are highly immoral - that is, when pressing these concerns inflicts unnecessary and appalling suffering on innocent human beings. This explains why Christians like yourself expend more "moral" energy opposing abortion than fighting genocide.

And it explains why you can preach against condom use in sub-Saharan Africa while millions die from AIDS there each year.”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
