[quote=Magic Magnum]Ok, so I'm part of an atheist community and just went ahead and asked them what's the difference between normal atheism and new atheism.[/quote]

So the general opinion on New Atheism among other atheists (at least those in the community I'm a part of) seems to be that it's meant to define people who not only aren't religious, but seek to disprove it, and get it away from anything that holds influences on others such as schools, hospitals, currency, pledge of allegiance etc. 

However, most don't think the term "New Atheist" even needs to be created. Atheism is not a religion but a lack of one and doesn't need to be torn into sub-categories like Religions are.

But with that definition in hand, yes I would count as a New Atheist. And so would most of the atheist in the community I'm in.
