The current debate on atheism is far more profound and far reaching than one that is merely between those who have a theistic belief, and those who oppose this view. Within the 'New Atheist' community there are many who would disagree with its current high profile champions - Dawkins, Hitchens and Dennett, and who adhere to a more 'classical' stance on their atheist principles. Others cite the failure of the new atheists to prove their viewpoint, take a sceptical line that 'science' is not a new religion that in itself is necessarily always rights, or seek to disprove Dawkins through current religious and spiritual thinking.

The following articles, from a wide range of opinions, seek to further the debate by refuting the New Atheist stance.
