The volume opens with a survey of the main ideas of the New Atheism, as expressed in the works of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens. We then examine the core views of the movement closely, making due reference to its ‘virtual community’ of websites and blogs. Subjects explored include: whether religion is delusional and evil; the belief that human beings are fundamentally good; whether we should have faith only in what can be proved through reason and science; the idea that the best hope for humanity is a ‘New Enlightenment’. The result is a lively and highly thought-provoking volume that poses some hard questions for the "New Athiests".
