'New
Atheism
is the name given to a movement among some early-21st-century atheist writers
who have advocated the view that "religion should not simply be tolerated
but should be countered, criticized, and exposed by rational argument wherever
its influence arises." New atheists argue that recent scientific
advancements demand a less accommodating attitude toward religion, superstition,
and religious fanaticism than had traditionally been extended by many secularists.
The movement is commonly associated with Richard
Dawkins, Daniel C. Dennett, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Victor J. Stenger. Several best-selling books by these authors, published between
2004 and 2007, form the basis for much of the discussion of New Atheism.' (Wikipedia)
