Atheism is not a new thing. For as long as there has been a belief in a god or gods, there have been people to deny it. Yet now there is a movement being labeled “New Atheism.”  It’s a community, however disjointed and spread about, of nonbelievers and freethinkers. Some are quiet, “closet” atheists. Others are forthright in their non-belief. More now than ever, atheists have a say. Even here, in the “Holy City” of South Carolina, the “buckle of the Bible belt,” they are making their voice heard.
