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.
Ah so, they assign extra baggage to atheism that doesn't belong in atheism, since it makes no claims about reality and they go the extra mile by identifying themselves as "new theists" when its the same tired antiquated pantheistic arguments repackaged.

I do hate it when these delusional god believers try to sell their old bullshit claims under a new label.

The whole thing reeks of dishonesty.
