@Mr Tag – if Sam Harris said that then, on that score, he’s full of crap, and as one of the most prominent atheists he has a responsibility to do his home work better. There is a mystical side to atheism – known only to me, apparently, no matter how blue in the face I get trying to explain it – and it’s the same as that at the heart of each of the world religions. Christianity has its own special mythology regarding Jesus, but Jesus’ meat and drink was the same as this.
