One Agnostic's View of the New Atheists

[Dystopia]

What is a New Atheist? I keep seeing this everywhere but no one ever says what it means.

Wiki is your friend! It's a word used to describe atheists who organize themselves around institutions, write books and are passionate about atheism. Check Richard Dawkins and his followers on Twitter, notice how homogeneous opinions are in the comments.

I certainly don't keep my mouth shut, that's something only a totalitarian regime would force me to do - But I do like keeping distance from certain labels if it doesn't fit me. I think someone like Alain de Botton is an example of an atheist who doesn't fit the definition of new atheist, or maybe atheists from previous generations (i.e. Freud)
