What does "vindicated" mean here? Cambridge gives the definition "proved that what someone said or did was right or true, after other people thought it was wrong." Is theII sentence structure here "(I felt) vindicated"? If so, "I felt proved" would mean "I felt the articulating proved to be true...?" I am not sure.
======================
The End of Faith articulates the dangers and absurdities of organized religion so fiercely and so fearlessly that I felt relieved as I read it, vindicated, almost personally understood… Harris writes what a sizable number of us think, but few are willing to say in contemporary America… This is an important book, on a topic that, for all its inherent difficulty and divisiveness, should not be shielded from the crucible of human reason.
