Within Religion and the New Atheism, scholars from a diverse array of disciplines critically appraise the current intellectual fad championed by Richard Dawkins and his co-thinkers. The term new-atheism has been given to the barrage of bestselling books by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and many others. This volume seeks to contextualise and critically examine the claims, goals and arguments of this new atheism in a rigorous manner.
