Sorry to disappoint but contrary to what many religious apologists would like us to think, there's nothing "new" about Atheism, it's been a totally rational and credible position for millennia. Although, as remains true in many countries to this day, it's often a choice that bears a heavy price. What is perhaps new is a bunch of people wanting to talk about their atheism (primarily online) and to challenge accepted behavioural and cultural norms that are rooted in supernatural belief systems. In my view, among the plurality of ideas about origins and purpose it remains, by far, the most logically consistent and demonstrably reasonable choice.
