It's short and somewhat superficial, but still worth a read. The irony of Harris and company: they are the dogmatists that they despise.

Harris is one of the New Atheists who I could live without. Dennett is more philosophically robust, and Dawkins should stick to science. I think that the basic point, that just because a belief is 'religious' doesn't meant it is immune from discussion / challenge, is valid, though.
