Back in 2007, the term “the New Atheists” was applied to men like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. They were fairly brutal enemies of Christianity. They saw it as a poisonous thing, a belief system that had blighted humanity for a thousand years. And they were determined to destroy Christianity. So Hitchens wrote God is not great. Dawkins wrote the God Delusion.
But in the past decade, something new has happened. The New Atheists are now dismissed by most public intellectuals. They are seen as a bit embarrassing, even by their fellow atheists. And in their place we have a group of academics who, while they are not Christians, are much more sympathetic to Christianity. These are the people we’re calling the new, new atheists.
