New Atheism

Available for over a year

Twenty years ago, journalist Gary Wolf coined the term "New Atheism". He's noticed a movement, blossoming from the technical communities of Silicon Valley, that exhibited a new-found confidence in expounding the atheistic world view. Giles speaks to Gary about the original meaning of the term, how it's changed over time and where we are now. He's joined by Prof Adam Rutherford, Dr Susan Blackmore and Dr Nick Spencer to discuss this moment in history and its impact on culture and religion. Producer: Katharine Longworth
