How many great buildings, hospitals and works of art has New Atheism given us?

[Walt Zingmatilder]

At the moment I can just think of 'Jesus Paints His Nails' although that is hardly great and probably I'm the only one here who remembers it or cares to remember it.

They don't have the vast amounts of money required to commission such things, unlike the people who run major religions.

Nye Bevan was an atheist.

What is your definition of New Atheism?
When that is forthcoming then an accurate response is more likely to occur.

You do have a meaningful, non sarcastic definition, don't you?

[Stranger]

Hey Vlad, did you hear about the anti-new-atheist comedian?

He said he was feeling a bit funny...

That body of men and women true who espouse the world view of the four horsemen and their associates.

I'm afraid you cannot have scriptures and notables beloved by millions and pretend with any credibility that you aren't a community.

Nye Bevan was an atheist.

I didn't see him write anything or join any congregation like the four horsemen.

Still an atheist though.

I suppose we should be grateful for the contribution of antitheist comedy to the environment...
Apparently near extinct and once thought extinct species of tumbleweed thrive at their gigs.

That's a cracker.

I think there is one educational establishment that would count as New Atheist. The New College of the humanities in London.

My old college, UCL, was founded as a secular institution, and, I think, was greeted with hostility by the C of E.

If you could let me know who any of those people actually are?
How many are there?

Ippy might be yer man on that one.
If I didn't know better I'd have thought you were going down the What officer, nah, that volume of Hitchens is propping up my window and I use letters to  Christian nation to stop the chair wobbling route.

So what?  I don't think New Atheism had a virgin birth!  It has historical roots, including many secularists and atheists.  UCL was significant, because education had been dominated by various churches.

Are you then, since we are on this thread, equating atheism and secularism with New Atheism?

So, knowing you, once an athiest philanthropist is suggested which fucks off your premise, you will dismiss him/her with some shitty Vladdish excuse.
Given the above, I aint playing your game.

The title of the thread is not a premise it's a question and everyone can make a contribution.

Ido see the difficulty. If you are going to claim that New Atheism is merely the disbelief in Gods then one cannot really claim it as a source of inspiration.

That's what I think

What about others?
