Host, Harris happens to be right about this particular issue IMHO, and though he does have an axe to grind about religion generally, I have found that he's not horribly obnoxious or intolerant about it, and he recognizes that many good people have found meaning and inspiration in religion (even though he wishes they would find it somewhere else). I have my own issues about religion, which aren't especially germane here.
My beef in general is with intolerance. I continue to believe that each person deserves to be free (within the confines of civilization and law) to seek out his/her own opportunities, loves, desires, goals -- so long as s/he does no violence or fraud to others, and that others should respect that freedom. How I think religion should be treated fits squarely into that framework, which is why I agree with Harris on this issue.
