The New Atheists’ aggressiveness and organization is a recent phenomenon, light years beyond the days when Madalyn Murray O’Hair was the only well-known atheist. Never before have atheists been so belligerent as a group nor has atheism [1] been so openly confessed and so popular among so many. Between the four of them, Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Hitchens have sold millions of books that are having a major impact in today’s world. Dawkins said, “What I want to urge upon you is militant atheism [1]. My approach to attacking creationism is to attack religion as a whole.” They have made an impressive start toward that goal.
