Apparently there is a thing called 'New Atheism' which is a movement which not only dismisses religion, but mocks, criticises and challenges it.
Whether I am a New Atheist or just a run of the mill Atheist I don't really know because I will tolerate it but will challenge it if somebody tries to ram it down my neck or stops me in the street to hand me a leaflet or ask if I pray or if I have accepted Jesus as seems to happen from time to time as i make my way around the Town Centre.
I have yet to see an Atheist stop someone in the street to push their beliefs on them uninvited or knock on someones door to discuss Atheism so i can only assume that the religious have got their rosary beads in a knot because Atheists are not content to just ignore them anymore and are openly challenging them.
I assume this makes me a New Atheist then because i stick to my belief that you can do what you want but if you try to persuade me or stop me or try and force your belief on me i will mock, criticise and challenge you about it.
If you want to ask me why I don't believe in a God then you had better be prepared for me to answer with why do you believe in it?
If you want to point to everything around you as proof of a God made Universe then you had better be prepared for me to point out the mountains of evidence which proves it isn't.
If you want to push the Bible on me as some sort of manual to live by you had better be prepared for me to point out the abhorrent bits which guides you to kill homosexuals, witches and plenty of other innocent folk.
I am happy to ignore Religious folk, as i have said many times it brings comfort to people and I understand that but if there is a New Atheism that challenges your notions then good, hopefully you will wake up to the fact that its all a load of nonsense if only you stopped to look at it rationally.
