      New Atheism was I think a project to create a new vital center uniting moderate Republicans and Democrats alike against USA religious right & in support of Middle Eastern wars. It failed (thank God!) due to partisan polarization.

      He provided an ideological on-ramp for Bushian foreign policy for people who were alienated by Bush’s cultural politics

      His big jump up was new atheism. That’s what drove book sales.

      Book sales, yes. But he was already at Vanity Fair and Slate before ten.

      And the New Atheism was very much tied to the post-9/11 "leftist who supports Middle Eastern wars" persona. Giving salience to atheism was a way to legitimize that position.

      Indeed, the so-called "Four Horseman" of the New Atheism were all Islamophobic.

      yep. What was "new" in the New Atheism was the support for imperialism. Chomsky is an atheist but he's not a New Atheist.

          There's a reason Bari Weiss loves Sam Harris and it ain't because of his belief that we're alone in the universe.
