Is Sam Harris becoming a pariah for the anti-religious cause?

[Dystopia]

I'm not responding to the Palestine V Israel conflict, but to the original intention of the thread. I think Sam Harris has already become an anti-religious 'pariah', the same way it happened with Hitchens and Dawkins, that's just how things tend to go. The fact he is anti-religion (or an anti-theist for that matter) doesn't influence my evaluation of his contribution to both atheism as a 'worldview' and secularism, which are greatly positive. Of course people like those will always affect citizens' beliefs and offend their hearts, but at the same time they automatically de-convert thousands from religion. You can't please both sides.

What the fuck? I do not think any of them lost their punch at all. Hitchens may be dead but he still lives on and his books are still relevant today. And Dawkins as well.

I do not think Harris or Dawkins are really worried about how the public views them. The still have audiences and will continue to write and will still sell books.

All of them have people who hate them and people who love them. I might be confusing the meaning of the word pariah here, because I didn't intend to say they lost their guts and punch...
