That's "New" as in "Where the hell have you all been this whole time?!?!"
Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris (I thought for a while that atheism was a British thing), Daniel Dennett. It's a holy war against holiness, and what these men bring are brass balls and rhetorical brilliance (that British thing) and an impunity that is courageous and breathtaking. They make me realize, oh, I've been holding my breath for all this time -- really, holding my tongue.
It's not just these men, either. I blame it on the Internet, as a force that spreads reason, the truth (alongside complete and utter idiocy -- the trick is knowing how to read it), and all manner of data, because now, among the web channels I surf (Digg, Del.icio.us, reddit) there are more and more links to anti-Scientology sites (this one today was particularly good) and pro-atheist blogs every day.
Must watch: Christopher Hitchens goes off on Hannity and Colmes, who dared to have him as a guest on their show.
