The 'New Atheists'
The 'New Atheists' are very evangelistic and intentionally aggressive in their views on atheism - they believe that God does not exist. Academics such as Richard Dawkins are out there spreading their "Gospel of No-God". We think it's time to check them out!

Richard Morgan: From Atheist & Card-Carrying Richard Dawkins Fan to Born-Again Christian (VIMEO) For 25 years he was a card-carrying atheist and flaming Richard Dawkins fan. Hear Richard tell the story which is featured in the book “The Dawkins Letters” by David Robertson, 2nd edition. His conversion provoked a meltdown in the Richard Dawkins discussion board in 2008, and he was permanently excommunicated from the forum.

Professor Antony Flew has been described as 'the world's most notorious atheist'; that is, until a few years ago when he shocked the academic world by announcing he had come to believe in the existence of God. Here he is interviewed about his theistic views as well as his less than flattering comments on Richard Dawkins. Flew replied to Dawkins in article form, in his own words, as well.
HUMOUR
We at Christian Faith appreciate the kindness we do see from our atheist friends. For example, we appreciate a group of atheists who are willing to look after our pets when RAPTURE time arrives. Eternal Earth-Bound Pets has the solution!
