[[New Atheism]] was a form of [[militant atheism]] which had a brief period of public prominence compared to the previous less militant form of atheism in the [[Western World]]. Since the decline of the New Atheism movement, atheists have been less provocative/militant (see: [[Decline of militant atheism in the West]]).
