One Without Faith

Infidel (literally "one without faith") is an English word meaning "one who doubts or rejects central tenets of a religion or has no religious beliefs".
Skepticism is a method of obtaining knowledge through systematic doubt and continual testing.

Another money quote from Sam Harris

I was critical of some of his assertions in The End of Faith, but he's really growing on me in this debate with Andrew Sullivan (emphasis mine).
I do not doubt the consolations you get from your faith. But faith is like a pickpocket who loans you your own money on generous terms.
Nice.
