I think the new atheist thing is probably good for kids coming out of very religious environments and rejecting them. It's easy to make fun of /r/atheism whining about that one time their parents made them go to church, but it really can be alienating to reject religion when it's very important to your family. Having people that loud an unapologetic who agree with you couldn't hurt.

I still haven't forgiven Dawkins for memes though.
