Hi, my name is Victoria and I'm a new member of your site. Now I must admit I am not entirely an atheist (I'm a bit unsure of my religious views), but I'm definitely interested in your beliefs. Now to my main point, I've come to your site with a purpose: I'm conducting a research project on new atheism.
Throughout the year in my composition class we have been reviewing works from Joseph Campbell. My task appointed to me by my instructor was to plan a research project around a topic that interested you most. So I chose the idea that atheism is becoming a more common route for the modern American.
From there I was required to do some research on what you guys are all about. From my university's religious database I mostly found attacks on the idea of new atheism, but from all these rants and raves came an article in support of new atheism. It spoke of the ideas of Dawkins, Dennett, and Harris and uniting themes between them. From there I found the real ammo for my research.
So what I'm interested in is YOUR opinion on A) religious violence B) cognitive science on religion and C) morality.
I'd be so delighted to perform some brief online interviews with a couple of you on these three topics for my research on the validity behind new atheism. Let the enlightening begin!
P.S. I'd be glad to share with you my annotated bibliography of the sources I used and a letter from the University of Central Florida solidifying this research plan.
