“It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man. With the proof now in place, cosmologists can no longer hide behind the possibility of a past-eternal universe…. There is no escape, they have to face the problem of a cosmic beginning” - Imaginative Conservative
“Dawkins and [Ayaan Hirsi] Ali will be discussing her conversion at the upcoming Dissident Dialogues festival in New York City in May. Dawkins’s admission that there may be something for him to learn about religion is uncharacteristically humble.” - Daily Citizen

Every day in every school, millions of schoolchildren are learning about God. In every subject.
Don’t think so?

If there were no Bibles, we’d know a lot about God. For starters, we could just look around. If God created the world—and he did—then it’s a piece of art. And art tells us a lot about the artist. Just a glance at Picasso’s work tells us that he distorted the female form. Hmmm. I wonder if he had issues with women. Turns out he did.
“…the world-famous activist and atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s declaration of new Christian faith is a stunning event. Accustomed as we are to ideological entrenchment, Ms. Ali’s repudiation of her secular bona fides (Richard Dawkins called her a “major hero of our time”) feels genuinely unlikely” - World
Alister McGrath: “…the world has moved on and has rather left the New Atheism behind…But that’s no cause for rejoicing, because we have new problems to worry about.” - CToday
“Many people in U.S., other advanced economies say it’s not necessary to believe in God to be moral” - Pew
“[Matthew] Arnold’s ghost haunts a recent three-way dialogue between well-known public intellectuals Douglas Murray, Tom Holland, and Steve Meyer, hosted by Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution.” - World
“What we have here is a very interesting feature from the ‘Maps and Graphs About Religion in America (That You Need to See)’ video channel, which is hosted by … ‘Drew | Atheist, activist, science advocate, youtuber at Genetically Modified Skeptic.’” - GetReligion
“Though it’s not always clear when a movement is over, there are many indicators that suggest this is the case of the ‘New Atheism,’ a cultural wave that rose in the 2000s and aggressively attacked religion in the guise of scientific rationalism” - Breakpoint
