Are you being persecuted by 'New Atheists?'

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

wacky thought for the day. "New theists" could refer to a cult which believed in a radically new divinity. It is however very hard to give a meaning to "New atheists"

New Atheist = someone who wasn't an atheist yesterday?

Found whilst I was looking for "new atheist" cartoons.

well OK then - it could also mean a newborn babe who is, according to some previous discussion here, held to be an atheist simply because s/he is not indoctrinated into a religion

Surely atheism is an -ism, implying a philosophical position?
