It's not enough to these individuals to believe (or lack to believe as the case may be) what they hold to be true and leave it at that. They want to stop you and I from believing in what WE believe as well, especially if that belief is in the God of the Bible. [...]

While the proponents of New Atheism would never admit it, the majority of those I've encountered are not nearly as anti-theistic as they are anti-Christian in composition. Because I find this to be the case in almost every scenario I've faced since countering the Rational Response Squad's Blasphemy Challenge on YouTube.com, it isn't hard for me to believe that these individuals, having accepted an old lie of Satan's with a new twist, will readily believe another big lie and, ultimately, begin worshipping the Antichrist (as many will) as foretold in prophecy.

Who is able to make war against him?"
