There is one book to come from a New Atheist, however, that is markedly different, and that I am eager to recommend. ![]() I recommend both books for their societal impact, but think both are compelling primarily for those who are already convinced naturalists. And both men seem to argue that an enlightened society cannot tolerate religious belief-to Hitchens it is dangerous and to Dawkins it is delusional. What I found disappointing, however, was the theological naivety-if not ignorance-he displayed, because I had assumed his research would be more careful. And I had read enough of Richard Dawkins to expect him to seem rather pompous in The God Delusion (2006) and was not disappointed. ![]() However, God is Not Great (2007) is little more than a secular diatribe. I expected to enjoy Christopher Hitchens’ book more than I did since I’ve long enjoyed his essays and reviews in Vanity Fair, the Atlantic, and other magazines for their wit, polemical style and razor sharp prose. Over the past few years I have read the authors known in the media as the New Atheists, and have tried to take their arguments seriously.
