The New Atheism Series.
Christianity has come under strong criticism from men such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. As recently as 13-15 April, 4,000 people attended the Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne. PZ Myers rallied the delegates to "demolish the City of God" and "make the bastards tremble".
Are the criticisms of the New Atheists justified and in what sense are they new? CBF Legal addresses these and other questions in the month of May.
