I Don't Believe in Atheists

Just saw Chris Hedges, the author of I Don't Believe in Atheists, speak at the Boulder Bookstore. He made some very interesting arguments about the dangers of both the radical believers and radical non-believers. His premise is that any radical belief system closes your mind to understanding. He also criticized the desire of groups to create Utopian societies, believing that this mindset is the truly dangerous one. I'd like to read his book - I'll put it on my endless Amazon wish list!
