A flashy new name that's easier to attack. The term "new atheism" seems to have more to do with promotion of secularism, reason, science, etc rather than atheism, in my opinion. I object to it because it conflates atheism with the pursuit of the above. I don't know whether any atheists actually call themselves this or whether the media just made it up.
