Dinesh D'Souza waxes nostalgic for the days when real atheists walked the earth.
The really big figures in modern atheism are people like the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, the philosopher Martin Heidegger, and the philosopher Bertrand Russell. Not one of the new atheist books can hold a candle to Russell's pungent Why I am Not a Christian. And when you read Heidegger and Nietzsche you find yourself in even-deeper waters. I chuckle to think of what Nietzsche would have made of a smug, self-satisfied character like Sam Harris who thinks he can refute Aquinas in a para or two.
I suspect Nietzsche would have coveted Harris's sales figures.

Do you have book references on Harris? Not that I want to be frustrate myself more with the current state of radical atheistic and anarchist thinking

Yeah. He's had a couple bestsellers recently: Letter to a Christian Nation and The End of Faith.
