Why God Won't Go Away: Is the New Atheism Running on Empty? by Alister E. McGrath

Feb 21, 2012 Frank Peters rated it 4 of 5 stars · review of another edition

This was an excellent book which is well titled. After recently reading the book by Lennox “gunning for God” on a similar topic, I assumed that the books would also be similar. This was not the case. This book my McGrath does not seek to answer the questions of the new Atheism or to provide any apologetic for Christianity. Instead McGrath provides a short biography of the four dominant new atheists: Dennett, Harris, Dawkins and Hitchens. Then he proceeds to first outline their main lines of argu...more

McGrath divides his text into three main sections where he discusses the development of the New Atheistic ideal, how to effectively engage those who adhere to such a belief, and where McGrath believes the agenda of New Atheism is headed. I must note this book is not an apologetic for Christianity; conversely, it is a discussion of New Atheism, its agenda, and how to address this movement. With that said, McGrath nevertheless uses biblical truth as his foundational premise for interacting with the dangerous New Atheistic viewpoint.

McGrath has extensively debated supporters of New Atheism such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens and his experience dealing with New Atheism can clearly be observed throughout the text. This book is well written providing the reader with a understandable summary that should prove enlightening to both scholar and layman alike. Moreover, McGrath's engaging writing style is scholarly yet approachable, a quality often missing from works on this topic. This book is replete with valuable information yet does not get bogged down with over argumentation or extensive interludes into philosophical discussions.

While arguably not as an extensive work on the subject as provided by others such as Ravi Zacharias or William Lane Craig, McGrath nevertheless extensively engages the subject matter with a deft, logical, reasoned approach thoroughly demolishing the arguments against biblical truth by those who seek to push New Atheism. Ultimately, McGrath proves quite clearly that despite repeated attempts throughout history to shut God out of society, God Won't Go Away! I highly recommend this book as it provided me with a number of solid arguments to utilize in further discussions with those who have been duped into believing Biblical faith is irrational.

New Atheism is not to be confused with classic Atheism of the stripe of Iris Murdoch or other older classical authors.

New Atheism, as opposed to classic Atheism, is characterized by dogmatism, polemic and as the author shows throughout this book, uncritical thinking which has devolved into brute force and name calling.

While Alister McGrath gives plenty of leg room for the classic Atheistic writers, showing them respect for their open minded and open handed approach to their world view; where they respect the opinions and arguments of their recognized Christian or Theistic peers, Mr. McGrath shows in short order the New Atheists, namely the 'Four Horsemen' consisting of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett, can be characterized finally as foaming at the mouth dogmatists...exactly what they accuse those of a more religious stripe to be.

Mr. McGrath has read their books and studied the online communities of New Atheism for years now, and is well equipped to answer questions this rather new (and ultimately quickly dying out movement in my view) has raised.

Specifically, the author shows the leaders of the New Atheism appeal to Science and Rationality, yet show gaping holes in their knowledges of either. Mr. McGrath takes us on a short cruise through the philosophy of Science, where we are shown there is a huge difference between those who practice Science (empiricists who recognize the limits of human reason and their Art), and those who proclaim Scientism....folks like the New Atheist who believe credulously Science is the ultimate saviour of mankind and is infallible practically. Most interesting in these chapters is Mr. McGrath's distinction between Proof and Truth. Proof, he maintains, is limited to the sphere of Logic and Mathematics, while Truth ultimately is what we (Atheists or Theists) believe, for what ever supporting Reasons we have.

A very quick read, but containing a liberal and broad minded approach to the tension between Faith and un-Faith, I highly recommend this book to any Believer or no. (less)

He’s a debater, having met Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitches in debates, and his competitive stance shines through. He refuses to meet atheists on their level, insisting that "faith doesn't contradict reason, but transcends it." Questions such as, "What are we all here for?" and "What's the point of living?" are legitimate questions, and we're right to seek answers to them, but science isn't going to help.

There are three parts to the book:

Part I: McGrath discusses the New Atheism and its major proponents, giving a brief description of the work of Harris, Dawkins, Dennett, and Hitchens. The New Atheism, he explains, is about more than promoting disbelief in God. It's about intolerance of religion completely. It is aggressive anti-theism. For many, the New Atheism has become arrogant and increasingly disconnected from the real world.

Part II: McGrath puts his research to work against the New Atheism, concluding that: (1) Atheism has simply failed to make its case that religion is necessarily and uniformly evil. (2) Belief is actually quite rational. Some of the arguments here are quite interesting, and I'm still contemplating their validity. (3) Science is inherently limited in what it can prove. McGrath quotes Stephen Jay Gould as saying, "Science simply cannot (by its legitimate methods) adjudicate the issue of God's possible superintendence of nature. We neither affirm nor deny it; we simply can't comment on it."

Part III: A short little section about the New Atheism's future that's worth reading if only for its humorous conclusion.

The book is definitely engaging, if a little frustrating because of its limited focus. Let's be clear on what this book is not. It is not an argument for the existence of God. McGrath never once defines what he is defending--the entire point of the book seems to be to discredit the New Atheism--so I'm hoping this book was meant to lead into his 2011 book, Surprised by Meaning: Science, Faith, and How We Make Sense of Things. I'll see about getting a review copy of that one.

In the mean time, I’m left hanging. If I reject atheism, what am I supposed to replace it with? There is, for me at least, a vast difference between accepting the possibility of a divine creator and believing in that creator. Then, there is a vast difference between believing in a creator and assuming the God of the Bible is that creator. Finally, there is a vast difference between believing that Bible writers have found God and believing that the Bible is the Word of God, endorsed by God Himself. So, we’ll hopefully see where McGrath goes with this in his next book. (less)

It was a foolish move, and Hitchens later generously apologized for it. (One of Hitchens’s former colleagues drolly commented, ‘My sympathies were with Mother Teresa. If you were sitting in rags in a gutter in Calcutta, who would be more likely to give you a bowl of soup?’)”

The above quote is found on page 37 of Why God Won’t Go Away. This is a quote belonging to Christopher Hitchens, who is one of four contemporary authors who have been nicknamed, “The Four Horsemen.“ According to this book, the other three authors include Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Daniel Dennett, who all have contributed atheistic ideology that have collectively become known as “The New Atheism.”

Why God Won’t Go Away is a scholarly critique of this movement. The critique is divided into three parts. The first part defines “The New Atheism,” and investigates the main fathers of this movement, analyzing the arguments put forward by each of the authors. The second part of the book discusses “The New Atheism” within the framework of three themes: violence, reason and science. Part three discusses the current status of “The New Atheism” and where the future may lead. This also concludes the critique of the movement postulating that the purpose of the movement, that being the end of religion, has failed.

Initially, before reading this book, I was intimidated by the subject matter, with which I am not well versed. My fear was that the details would be above my understanding from start to finish. This was not the case. The author painstakingly and patiently explains this ideology from the beginning of the movement, including commentary from bloggers and other world authorities from many different disciplines. Although the ideas are very deep at times and the vocabulary is sometimes challenging, it follows a logical thought pattern and is very illuminating. Basically, the author shoots down the logic of “The New Atheism”, and explains the fallacies to the theory.

I recommend this book for anyone who is capable of critical thought and who is even remotely interested in the current and historical debate between atheist thought and religious thought.

That is exactly why I was excited to read “Why God Won’t Go Away” by Alister McGrath. Thanks to McGrath's "Why God Won't Go Away" I can have lively, intelligent, and well informed discussions with my atheist friends.

Mc Grath, a former atheist, is a historian and theology scholar who knows the New Atheist movement well. McGrath has publicly debated the media savvy supporters like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Tom Harris. Some important points McGrath will outline and define are: 1)Who are the New Atheists and what do they believe? 2) Is religion delusional and evil? 3) Are Humans fundamentally good? and finally, 4)How do reason and science prove or disprove faith?

Apparently atheism has always been around. The difference now between atheism and new atheism is that the new atheism does not just attack the existence of God, but all religions. Proponents of New Atheism use faulty logic and very little evidence to support their claims which makes all proponents of this movement seem as angry and bitter.

McGrath writes with accessible language and does back up his claims with sound evidence. I feel that this short and easy to read book would be useful to both scholars and non-scholars alike. I found myself taking notes throughout reading this book. Not only do I have a better understanding of the New Atheist movement but also the leaders of the movement such as Dawkins and Hitchens. McGrath uses proper logic in defining and outlining new atheism. Which I feel most critical and nonfiction authors lack. One caveat, I wish there was a study guide included to deepen my understanding of new atheism. However,Alister
McGrath provides wonderful citations for further study.I highly recommend this well written book to all.

The book is essentially a 'situation report' of the New Atheism in our society.

The book isn't very complicated, but that in no way takes away from what you can learn from it! I think McGrath is very fair with his analysis and avoids immature jabs against its supporters. I was particularly happy with t...more

In this book McGrath introduces the reader to the characters of the New Atheism movement as well as their ideas. He does a good job showing that the movement is much more bark than bite. Those who are well-versed with New Atheism will probably discover little new here. The book, however, would serve a great introduction.

They had an upbeat feel in the heady days of 2006 and 2007 when the New Atheism seemed to be like a bright new sun dawning on the world. But not now. Is a “crisis of faith” beginning to emerge?” - Pg. 41

A recent debate with atheists and memories of old debates with atheist family members gave rise to the yearning to learn more about atheism and it's roots. Alister McGrath, a former atheist, holds the chair of theology, ministry, and education at King's College London, “having previously held the chair of historical theology at Oxford University.” This atheist-turned-Christian challenges the “Four Horsemen” of the New Atheism.

“The term New Atheism was invented in 2006. Gary Wolf was writing an article for Wired, a British magazine aimed at “smart, intellectually curious people who need, and want, to know what's next.” Wolf was looking around for a snappy slogan to refer to a group of three men who'd attracted media attention through best-selling popular books advocating atheism: Sam Harris with The End of Faith (2004), Richard Dawkins with The God Delusion (2006), and Daniel Dennett with Breaking the Spell (2006)....In 2007, the New Atheism movement gained a new hero when Christopher Hitchens God is Not Great became the latest atheist best seller. The phrase the Four Horsemen began to be used to refer to these writers, who rapidly assumed celebrity status and are now collectively identified as the intellectual and cultural spearhead of the New Atheism.” - Pg. 3-4

McGrath engages the New Atheism in friendly fire. He's objective, having read books and publications from atheist writers, and proceeds to tirelessly refute each of their objections with grounded reasoning. He uses historical context to show the harm of the New Atheism. The shocking agenda of the New Atheism and the lengths they would go to eradicate all religion from society shocks other athiests. “Even says Sam Harris, 'some propositions are so dangerous that it may even be ethical to kill people for believing them.' This may seem an extraordinary claim, but it merely enunciates an ordinary fact about the world in which we live.”

“Killing such people, he tells us, could be regarded as an act of self defense. The Inquisition, the Gestapo, the Taliban, and the KGB could not have put it better. To be honest, I found Harris's statement to be morally repulsive.” - Pg. 10

The chapters are easy to follow, but you do have to read slowly. McGrath makes every sentence count and it reminds me of studying in school. There are two pages (front and back) of suggested “further reading” for those believers or atheists who choose to learn more, and 13 pages of notes detailing his sources. His index allows for readers to investigate certain phrasing without thumbing through the pages like I do in some book reviews. McGrath's last chapter makes the New Atheism less threatening. Truth does not shy away from debate nor does it stick its head in the sand. Truth is open to discussion.

Useful note: quotes Isaiah Berlin's observation that human conviction can be classed in three categories:

1.Those established by empirical observation.
2.Those established by logical deduction.
3.Those that cannot be proved in either of these ways.

Examples of convictions in the third category include adherence to human rights, acknowledgement of other minds, and belief in the existence God (a la A. Plantinga); see pages 86-7.

This is a fairly good exposition of the weaknesses of the "new atheism". He drives home the point that thorough-going atheism just does not sit well with the human psyche. He also makes a good point, however, that persons of religious faith need to at least consider some of these challenges -- that only by analyzing one's faith can it ever advance beyond naivety.
