Check out the article here.
Hopefully you find it a different take on modern atheism than what you will see from most Christian authors. Very often when atheists speak we as Christians tend to cover our ears and yell "La la la! I'm not listening!" That description is admittedly somewhat childish yet childish seems to be a good word to me that portrays Christianity's response to its critics. Don't misunderstand me, I am in no way advocating that everything coming from the mouth of modern atheism should be given credence. I often find both their philosophical and scientific arguments lacking (not to say that I have better ones, because my hope is built on faith and not rationalistic proofs, but I digress... a topic for another time). So we cannot take seriously the comments of those outside the faith in regards to Christian doctrine. But one point cannot be ignored: their comments in regards to Christian practice.
Give the article a read and let me know what you think.
I also highly recommend the review of The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins, in "Bibliotheca Sacra" (Jan-Mar 2008 edition) written by Dr. Glenn R. Kreider, as well as the follow up Q&A article with "Kindred Spirit."

Hey the review was great! That's cool you got the chance to do that.
This sentence from the first paragraph confuses me though: "Although many popular atheists base their views on a false perception of what Christians believe, they do base their ideas on a correct experience of what Christians practice."
It doesn't seem like there's a negative and a positive (which I might expect from the "although"). Perhaps a typo in the online version?
Great job.
wow, josh. good for you! very insightful.
