I just got done reading this book. It was very well argued, very well written, and on top of that, it's free! For those of you who are being exposed to new atheism this book is mandatory.

From Wiki :

The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens is a 2008 book by American writer and technology entrepreneur Vox Day,a weekly columnist on WorldNetDaily and member of the SFWA, MENSA and IGDA.

Vox addresses the anti religious arguments advanced by authors like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens - who Vox labels the "New atheists" . Rather than argue for the existence of a particular God, the book concentrates on highlighting flaws in anti religious arguments. Vox is sympathetic with Dinesh D'Souza who asserted that even the worst atrocities caused by religion "are minuscule compared with the death tolls produced by the atheist despotisms of the 20th century". [1] Building on D'Souza's position, Vox has a sweeping looks at the average behaviour of Christian leaders since the dawning of Christendom and compares with the track records of the 89 known atheist leaders. He finds that over half of these leaders have committed acts of mass atrocity, so for atheist leaders mass murder is typical behaviour whereas for Christian leaders it is exceptionally rare. Vox adds that extending his analyses to Islamic and Pagan religious leaders doesn't significantly aid the atheist case.

The Irrational Atheist has been ranked #65 on the Amazon.com bestsellers list and has been downloaded free of charge by thousands of readers as Vox made his work available as a free E-Book. [2]
