The Shallow New Atheists
I’m reading David Bentley Hart’s Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies. While I don’t agree with everything Bentley writes, his book is thought-provoking. 
It is a polemic against “the new atheism.” Here’s a typical example of Hart’s biting rhetoric about the new atheists (Dawkins, Hitchins, et al.):
“As I have already complained, the tribe of the New Atheists is something of a disappointment. It probably says more than it is comfortable to know about the relative vapidity of our culture that we have lost the capacity to produce profound unbelief. The best we can now hope for are arguments pursued at only the most vulgar of intellectual levels, couched in an infantile and carpingly pompous tone, and lacking all but the meagerest traces of historical erudition or syllogistic rigor” (220).
