“The “new Atheists” believe that the old atheists were too tolerant of religion, and not aggressive enough in their attacks upon it.”

Gee how tolerant and diverse.

Indeed. Of course, here is some real tolerance being taught:

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. - Matthew 10:14 NIV - Part of Jesus' teaching the disciples how to preach the Word.

Funny how Jesus doesn't say to scream at people until they agree with you, nor does He force anyone to accept the faith. It all has to be a choice.

I don't understand the need for "New Atheists" to attack religion. If the rest of us are simply worshipping something that to them doesn't exist, why care SO much about it?

BTW, as far as atheists claiming they don't need religion to be good, how many of them donate to charity, and in what amount? I haven't seen many hospitals built by atheists to serve the poor and needy. Or even thrift stores.
