A Remark on Old Atheism vs. New Atheism
Taken from Edward Feser's article Adventures in the Old Atheism, Part II: Sartre:
"Sartre’s Old Atheism is world-weariness, whiskey, a smoky bar, and a beautiful French woman lighting your cigarette while Miles Davis plays in the background. The New Atheism, meanwhile, is goofy bus advertisements, pimply combox trolls live-blogging a Reason Rally, and Richard Carrier making a crude pass at you. Why the hell would anyone ever want to be a New Atheist?"
