New Atheism and its critics
Philosophy Compass 14 (1):e12560 (2018)
Abstract
What is the significance of the New Atheist movement? This essay argues that it has hindered rather than advanced the philosophical debate, presenting a one‐sided caricature of religion rather than serious intellectual engagement with the topic.My notes
