I just read
an excellent article that was written by a self described atheist. This is a nice piece of honest writing that I think every "New Atheist" might be interested in reading.
Personally, I think this writer is quite thoughtful, and has the ability to see both sides of a thing quite keenly.

BTW, I think there is some truth to the idea that deep down, atheists have a metaphysical belief in a creator/deity. When I tried to become an atheist, that tiny voice deep within me would not let me completely throw off the idea of God. And I simply could not live in denial of that little fact. So I called myself agnostic with atheistic leanings, never being able to rid myself of the part of me that would not be subdued into disbelief.
