The writer lost me when he started labeling Dawkins and Hitchens with left-wing approved insults. I have come to believe that reflexively calling others racist, bigoted homophobic, sexist haters use those accusations as cover for their irrational and hypocritical hate of those with differing opinions. Nevertheless, the New Atheists bore me to tears. I cannot take them seriously. Everything of theirs that I have read displays ignorance of the religious traditions that they criticize and their lack of self-reflection.
