Agreed. That is a fantastic book. Harris is taking some flak for his spiritualism and his advocacy of meditation, but IMO these are not concepts that should necessarily be excluded from Atheism and Humanism. Like Harris, I feel that there is nothing wrong with replacing religiosity with spirituality as it fills a need that many disillusioned with religion find beneficial, and has none of the baggage associated with religion.

Also recommend Letter to a Christian Nation, which is a detailed response to critics of The End of Faith and an excellent read on it's own merits.

EDIT: Not surprised that those who are religious have the biggest problem with Zeitgeist. Perhaps if you took your own advice, "take what you want and leave the rest," you would realize there is something of value there for you. Typically religious behavior to throw the baby and bathwater both out.
