De Waal, Frans (2013年3月25日). “Has militant atheism become a religion?”. Salon.com. http://www.salon.com/2013/03/25/militant_atheism_has_become_a_religion/2017年3月9日閲覧. "Why are the 'neo-atheists' of today so obsessed with God's nonexistence that they go on media rampages, wear T-shirts proclaiming their absence of belief, or call for a militant atheism? What does atheism have to offer that's worth fighting for? As one philosopher put it, being a militant atheist is like 'sleeping furiously.'"
“New Atheists”. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 2016年4月14日閲覧。 “The New Atheists are authors of early twenty-first century books promoting atheism. These authors include Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens. The 'New Atheist' label for these critics of religion and religious belief emerged out of journalistic commentary on the contents and impacts of their books.”
