The Rise and Fall of New Atheism | Mike Myers
Sep 16, 2020•45 min
Episode description
New Atheism was a movement that spanned from roughly 2001 to 2013. It was characterized by an aggressive online debate style that often satirized religions, idolized science, and made many enemies along the way. New Atheists became the stereotype of what it meant to be an “atheist.” Mike and I discuss the way the movement rose to prominence, why it fell apart, and what we can learn from New Atheism moving forward.
