Paul Pardi: What’s So New About the New #Atheism?

The editors of Wired magazine in 2006 used the term “new” to describe the atheistic movement initiated by Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris. I think they were right. In a recent article for The Huffington Post, I made the claim that religious belief in the United States is at the edge of a significant evolutionary change. One reason I cited for this change is the pressure coming from “The New Atheism.” One reader commented that there really is no “new” atheism. The contemporary atheism is the same old thing in modern packaging. I don’t think it is.
