Nope. New Atheism is just a journalistic term for a coincidence of thought / a meme. Probably fueled by publishers.
Around 10 years back, there was a push-back against the privileged position held by belief-peddlers triggered perhaps by the shock of 9/11 and its aftermath and the recognition that not all religions had become domesticated.
What it did do was enable a lot of 'old' atheists to find a voice.
Not all of those voices were anti-theism.
