The ‘New Atheists’ are deliberately out to dissuade people from religion by the power of what Graham Veale calls ‘sneer pressure’.
Why? Because sneer pressure is powerful for winning converts and silencing the opposition (and a lot easier than robust debate). So Veale has produced a little book to encourage and strengthen Christians who feel unsettled by the sneers they receive, or indeed to challenge the atheist prone to sneering.
