Over the past decade there has been resurgence in literature claiming to know that God does not exist. Richard Dawkins has led this campaign against Theists in general and Christianity in particular. Sometimes labelled the “New Atheism” Dawkins and others express two popular prejudices: First that all religious belief is baseless, and second that religion is the principle cause of violence, division and oppression and hence should be abandoned for the sake of peace and tolerance.

This book will argue that the only thing that is “new” about the New Atheism is the vitriol with which they state their erroneous case. Mr McCoy explodes the four great myths of Atheism; first that our universe appeared from "nothing", second that human consciousness is a product of simple brain function, third that there is a contradiction between science and religion and finally that Morality is a relative affair and a product of evolution.
