What is the name for modern atheists?
#1
What is the name for modern atheists?
What I mean is, there is a lot of different ways to categorize people. Like for a Muslim, there is a Shia, Sunni, Sufi, and a Quranist. And for a Christian, there is Catholic, Baptist, WBC Bigot (lol) and etc....

But what is the name or category for modern western atheism?

Some atheist groups I know are La Vey Atheists, Buddhist Atheists, and Sikh and Hinduism Atheists. (Which doesn't make sense because isn't the point of atheism to be irreligious?)

Then there are these scientific atheists, and plain old atheists, (like babies and shoes).

But what is the category for the mainstream atheism in the west (like you guys)? Like the atheists that are irreligious, not scientists in profession, pro-evolution, and are generally secular and liberal in culture (e.g. Sam Harris, Bill Maher, Hitchens. NOT Dawkins, because Dawkins is a scientific atheist)

So what is the category for your guyses type of atheism? Is it neo-Atheist?
