In the mid 2010’s, New Atheism was busy producing best-selling books and plastering adverts on the sides of buses. Its loud scepticism is not as popular these days, but many of its arguments live on. What has changed and how can we respond a decade later? Andy Bannister explores this in his revised and expanded book, The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist, for a 10th anniversary edition. He speaks to Gavin Matthews and Simon Wenham about what’s new what’s interesting about the state of atheism today.
