I doubt people like Dawkins and Hitchens have much, if anything, to do with the rise in atheism in my generation. The failures of institutional religion, specifically the Catholic pedophilia scandals and the Christian Right's scorched earth campaign against gay rights and abortion, are the real cause. When the most prominent believers are exposed as evil and intolerant, why would we want to be on their side?
