So the "new atheism" is just much more intolerant of other points of view regarding god, etc. than the "old atheism" was. Not surprising actually.

No, not surprising. Considering that the intolerance present in most religion has been a driving force to the spread of atheism, it is perhaps interesting to observe the same intolerance in atheism.

"new atheism" doesnt exist. Dawkins goes out of his way NOT to attack theists, he only demonstrates that there is no scientific basis for belief in god. Hitchens Ive never read, but there have been plenty of obnoxious atheists in the past, one more doesnt make it a "new atheism".
Actively campaigning against prayer in school and other perceived violations of separation of church and state have been around since the 50s, and in fact are probably pursued by as many theists as atheists.
