A little more searching and you can find this:

Sam Harris's books "The End Of Faith" and "Letter To A Christian Nation"
have established him as second only to the British biologist and author
Richard Dawkins in the ranks of famous 21st century atheists. The thrust
of Harris's best-sellers is that with the world so crazed by religion,
it's high time Americans stopped tolerating faith in the Rapture, the
Resurrection and anything else not grounded in evidence. Only trouble
is, our country's foremost promoter of "reason" is also supportive of
ESP, reincarnation and other unscientific concepts. Not all of it is
harmless yoga class hokum -- he's also a proponent of waterboarding and
other forms of torture.
