"The difference between science and religion is that science freely admits it does not know what it does not know; whereas religion precisely claims to know the very things it does not know."
Sam Harris (born 1967) is an American author, philosopher, and neuroscientist, and one of the prominent figures of the 'New Atheism' movement. He is known for writing books on the critique of religion, free will, science-based morality, and meditation. His works have had a significant impact on contemporary debates concerning the relationship between rationality, religion, the mind, and science.
