DOI: 10.1558/equinox.43297

Blurb:

“New Atheism” is a term that emerged at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It can refer to a variety of things, from specific works of particular (white male) authors, to a much broader discursive movement. Just how “new” this form of atheism is, and what impact it might have had, or continue to have, remain open questions and depend on who is doing the asking.
