        I loathe the label "new atheist." I always ask why the "new" is necessary? Are there new gods to not believe in?

        Nothing new. A catalogue of the same misconceptions about @SamHarrisOrg that have appeared in many other places before. Predictable tropes.

        main attack is directed towards @SamHarrisOrg the person who explicitly said that 'new atheism' has no moral backbone and meaningless term

        Identity game, putting all atheists under the mantra of 'new atheism' and attacking the whole as a group - the worst thing to do

        Neither article addresses the effect of christians voting for trump. That increased cynicism about religion.

        More religious liberals who think that fundamentalists either don't actually exist or don't count as religious.

        I think Robert Wright's analysis of New Atheism's hawkish foreign policy & bias against Islam is spot on:http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/230448
