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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Vague 1-star reviews are an indication to buy the book. *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on November 1, 2015* I rarely write reviews as I'm far too apathetic to feel the need. However, seeing how CJ Werleman pretty much predicted that the New Atheists Cult Club would abuse the review system of purchasing sites as they did to previous authors who dared criticize their messiahs - er leaders, I've been pushed from my lovely seat of Apathy. So, if you're reading these reviews it should be important to 1) See the frequency of 1-star reviews by individuals without the Verified Purchase and 2) See extremely vague criticisms and ask, "Why vague when you read the book?" or 3) "Why address something that's been addressed in the book as if it wasn't?" HINT: Because they didn't read it. But in their defense, why read something when you're know you're right? Not a very intellectually honest standpoint and seems to be a very Fundamentalist one instead. Oh! An argument CJ brought up (in not so few of words) in this very book! Which they would of understood if they attempted to read this book, which is why they (like the religious Fundamentalist they hate) are not really for education and dissent. But YOU! Yes, you, reading these reviews, are for a conversation and a better understanding of foreign policy. And as an ex-New Atheist myself (though before reading this book myself) this book is entertaining and very informative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, principled and engaging! *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on September 16, 2015* Unlike others who didn't purchase or read the book (but reviewed it anyway), I purchased, read AND thoroughly enjoyed CJ's book. He addresses a wide range of issues and arguments and honestly confronts his own biases and errors made during his journey from anti-theist to an atheism that rejects racism, and Islamophobia. It's refreshing to read someone who acknowledges where he was wrong on an issue and charts how he adjusted his thinking to new evidence. If only a few of the New Atheist leaders and their followers were as vigorous in their approach to religion. CJ argues persuasively that atheists must reject the easy answers that New Atheists seek to give to complex problems. His book is also very funny in places, and his wit livens up an often unfunny topic. This book is a welcome attempt to hash out serious disagreements among atheists. Let's hope some people can recognize the value of honest debate. They should start here with this book and reject the phony atheism of Harris and Dawkins. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/26956694-the-new-atheist-threat-the-dangerous-rise-of-secular-extremists](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/26956694-the-new-atheist-threat-the-dangerous-rise-of-secular-extremists) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
