Idk...yeah, these guys are cocky and caustic, but I think the backlash against New Atheism has gone a touch too far. Hitchens was brilliant, as is Dennett, and Harris is no slouch. (Dawkins off the deep end.) There's nothing wrong with ardent anti-theism.

I've got problems with some of their arguments, but I'm fearful of a taboo on the Twain/Voltaire-style approach to religion. It's an important counterpoint in the intellectual world to staunch theism, which has a far greater influence, and is no less cocky or evangelical.
