The new atheists who are or were known for their evangelical atheism are: [[Richard Dawkins]] (who actually flip-flops in terms of referring to himself as an [[agnosticism|agnostic]] or atheist. See: [[Richard Dawkins and agnosticism]])., [[Daniel Dennett]], the late [[Christopher Hitchens]] and [[Sam Harris]].
New atheism has fallen out of public favor and at least one of the new atheist lost their outspokeness (see: [[New Atheism#Decline of New Atheism|Decline of New Atheism]] and [[Decline of militant atheism in the West]]).<ref name="patheos.com">[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2015/12/uproar-against-dawkins-is-sign-of-new-atheism-retrogression/ Uproar Against Dawkins Is Sign of New Atheism Retrogression] by Joshua Kelly</ref><ref name="Even atheists bash 'Reason Rally'">[httphttps://www.wnd.com/2016/06/even-atheists-bash-reason-rally/ Even atheists bash 'Reason Rally']</ref>

{{Cquote|I'm not sure there is anything in this movement worth saving. Hitchens is dead. Dawkins simply doesn't have the energy for this sort of thing anymore. Harris went his own way. And [[Daniel Dennett|Dennett]] just kind of blended into the background. So what do you think when the largest gathering of the nonreligious in history pulls in... I don't know. Maybe 2,000 people. Is there anything worth saving?<ref name="Even atheists bash 'Reason Rally'">[httphttps://www.wnd.com/2016/06/even-atheists-bash-reason-rally/ Even atheists bash 'Reason Rally']</ref>}}
