Abstract

UDK 299.2"20"

In recent decades, there has been expansion of the literature of atheistic proselytism, whose primary intention is to eliminate religion as such. In this essay, the author presents the works and ideas of the leading protagonists of the New Atheism. The paper treats the attitudes and arguments of the New Atheism regarding the essential difference between science and religion, as well as efforts to connect the issue of violence and extremism with religion. It seems that intelectually New Atheism will have a weaker impact than in the field of global media culture. However, it remins to be seen what impact New Atheism will realistically have in the future.
