Having read Dawkins', Hitchens', Harris', and Dennett's criticisms of religion, I could only wish that Werleman had been as objective as they. Unfortunately, the book is so chock full of serial fallacies and shoddy logic that it is actually a painful chore to slog through it. Should you accept the task, you are likely to wish you had found some other pursuit with which to while away the hours-- flossing the cat, for instance, or maybe a root canal.Werleman, an admitted ex-"New Atheist" engages in arguments which are by turns juvenile, histrionic, and pretzel-like. He seems happiest when recounting all the luminaries who agree with his position, and with the zeal of a reformed ex-smoker warns of all the dangers of New Atheism, such as that it will lead to a new Holocaust. If they ever gain supreme power. In some indefinable future. That's somewhat like the hoary joke that if we had some ham, we could make a ham sandwich, if we had some bread. More than half the book is devoted to this sort of ad hominem polemic.Unfortunately, Werleman never actually makes a convincing case for the so-called "Danger" represented by New Atheism. Instead, you're invited to float down the river of ignorance on his raft of rhetorical fallacies, which seem engaged primarily in order to outrage and motivate the religious right who already need neither outrage nor motivation. As a formula for income, however, his strategy seems primed to sell a lot of books to a certain audience.If one could boil down the central arguments of this book, they would be that New Atheism is dangerous because it is comprised of people, and some people are intolerant; and New Atheism is dangerous because a lot of its critics find its public figures to be lacking in religious credentials from which to lob valid criticisms.Virtually nothing within the published works of any of the so-called Four Horsemen is critically investigated, examined, or broken down for the purpose of getting to the flaws of the positions, if such exist, which we're assured at length is the case.If you're looking for a well-reasoned critique of New Atheism, save your $17 and skip this book. It will be time and money well-saved. ### ⭐⭐ Some good points, too much hyperbole. *by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2015* Agree Rè not calling all believers idiots etc. agree that some atheists are bad people . Agree that too many atheists are over the top. This book seems to have too many atheists as rabid fundamentalists. Sure there's a lot to critique Rè atheists etc. I'd suggest Piglucci, Ruse, Gray and Chompsky ahead of this book . I appreciate and agree with much in the book but overall I think it's an order of magnitude OTT out of order ### ⭐ Thoroughly unconvincing and a complete waste of time *by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2015* Continuing a bizarre, middle-school style grudge match. Thoroughly unconvincing and a complete waste of time. He and the people's he's upset with need to get a room and leave the rest of us out of it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111957452-the-new-atheist-threat-the-dangerous-rise-of-secular-extremists](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111957452-the-new-atheist-threat-the-dangerous-rise-of-secular-extremists) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
