New Atheists generally believe that science has gradually erased our need for God. Isaac Newton once argued that God guaranteed the orbits of the planets. LaPlace showed that we had no need of that hypothesis. William Paley believed that God designed the body plans of complex organisms.

Whenever a Christian suggests that morality is impossible without God, or that Christianity might have been beneficial for society, some secularist will reflexively object that the Crusades have demonstrated that this cannot be so.  Put aside the fact that no-one is seriously contending that everything done in the name of Christ is true to his message.
