3 Common Defenses of Religion

[KipBond]

Sam Harris spoke at the Aspen Ideas Festival where he discussed 3 common defenses of religion. [download video here]. I hope that NotReady & other believers will watch this video with any confirmation bias minimized, and then respond here with their thoughts.

Sam Harris discusses these 3 defenses of religion:

<ul type="square">[*]A specific religion is true[*]Religion is useful, and might be necessary[*]Atheism is essentially another religion[/list]
I think Sam does an exceptional job on the 2nd point in his discussion of morality.

I'd really like to see what some of the more thoughtful religious believers on here can find the most fault with in Harris' arguments. So, that is the challenge to believers: listen to Sam's speech, and return here with the top 3, specific, most egregious faults with his arguments.
