 Ian Scholes. In his lifetime, Daniel Dennett was referred to as one of the four horsemen of new atheism, with Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens. But that's kind of a biblical way to look at atheism, isn't it? Much less new atheism, whatever that means. Maybe old atheism was not as inclusive? Anyway, why would you name atheists after the four horsemen? Atheists want to end end times, not join the parade.
