520 |a This collection is the first volume in a projected series of “Critical Research on Religion,” edited by Warren Goldstein. It is certainly critical, in the positive sense, and it is also a good read. In this case, the topic of critique is “the New Atheism,” largely typified by the best-selling writings of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens. Michael Borer calls them its “Four Horsemen” (125), and they, with a few others, put militant atheism on the intellectual front pages in the mid-00s. This book tries to say how and why. Its 12 substantive chapters (plus an introduction and an afterword) bring philosophy, sociology, historical analysis, and theology to this task. Most of them also try to show where this aggressive atheism goes wrong.
