New Atheism in the UK

[NoMoreFaith]

And if you're going at great pace do you jerkily press hard down on the break?
And if you've practically stopped, is there a a need to suddenly break hard and risk agitating the contents of your smart caravan?

No. How does this prove your point? Unless you think Religion is somehow on its last legs despite evidence to the contrary.

Completely hypothetically, if the world became practically peaceful, i.e. the trend was coming to an end, my argument is efforts made in anti-war protests, would be better spent elsewhere.

Same fallacy, you moved the analogy from current to nearly expired which is not the same thing.

How do we judge that? Its difficult, but we can certainly say, that we are neither getting close to being non-religious, nor close to being non-peaceful, and therefore, the caravan is by no means close to stopping.

I understand what you're trying to say, that, anti-theists should be more conciliatory rather than aggressive, I've actually said similar myself, in certain instances, it hurts the argument more than progresses it in certain cases.

The problem is that religion has a pedestal of complete assertion, and by validating respect for a belief, you validate the pedestal. You can't bring religion down, without taking it off the pedestal.
This does not imply lack of respect for the person, merely the belief system they hold, and try to keep on the shelf away from prying hands and eyes. Hence this funny tag of "New Atheism" or more precisely, "Lack of Respect for your Religion-ism".
