Abstract

The contemporary atheist movements completely deny and refute the existence of God and religion. The initiation of "New Atheism" was led by The Four Horsemen Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett. New Atheism has certain distinctive characteristics in its denial of religion and God. Such as hostility towards religion, intense eagerness to propagate atheism, exaggerated reliance on scientific knowledge, and the establishment of organizations to promote atheism. The "American Atheists Association" is an organization active in the United States advocating for the rights of atheists and spreading atheism. Similarly, the "Brights Movement" encourages people toward atheism through the principles of nature and science. While the "Atheist Alliance International" defends the rights of atheists in every possible way. Additionally, "the Skeptics Society" works to create doubts and skepticism in people's minds regarding religion.
