Summary: | This essay affirms some of the basic insights of the so-called New Atheists, while criticizing their narrow definition of religion as belief in God as a supernatural being. It then attempts to explore the liminal space between the atheists' scornful rejection of all things religious and the still-pervasive belief in God as a supernatural being by pointing to two authors, one an atheist and one a post-traditional theist, who advance novel spiritualities in accord with a twenty-first century scientific worldview. |
