re: reader t
"what exactly is a New Atheist, verse those that are the Old ones?"
From what I understand, New Atheists refers to Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris, Dennet et al. who appear content to tear down religious faith, claiming it the root of all evil. Whereas Old Atheists are more in the vein of Camus, Sartre, Nietzche et al who sought to replace one all-encompassing theology with another.
