From the books new foreword by Sam Harris…
Humanity has had a long fascination with blood sacrifice.

The notion that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that his death constitutes a successful propitiation of a “loving” God is a direct and undisguised inheritance of the superstitious bloodletting that has plagued bewildered people throughout history. . .
