What is "Old Atheism", and how does "New Atheism" differ from that? I never even seen a good argument for how there is something "new" about the latter. As far as I can see it's just an attempt to give a pejorative term to the anti-religious views of a handful of "celebrity Atheists", most notably Hitchens and Dawkins, views that are not new at all.
