James Wood, reviewing Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian Nation in The New Republic:

the jauntily unphilosophical way in which most popular atheistic writing simply ignores the Wittgensteinian dilemmas is disappointing, and explains why its explanations of the sources of religious belief are so jejune. Is there not a kind of insult to language in so comprehensively banning the incomprehensible? Shouldn’t a physicist–a friend of mine–be able to say that, for her, Coltrane’s A Love Supreme “is God,” without atheism busily correcting her lexical lapse into the unprovable?
