Atheists need to confront the fact that they have won. In most of the Europe, including the east and in Northern America, traditional religions have crumbled under almost three centuries of secularist onslaught. Major Christian denominations, as well as Judaism, have decreased in relevance and power, to the point when even politicians nominally belonging in these groups actively work against their orthodoxy. Saying you are religious in public invites ridicule, and proclaiming your political positions are tied to your religion is bordering on political suicide, take SNP leadership elections as one example. Even in US, the 'nones' are becoming the largest "denomination". Overall, I think most believers understand that. Western society is now less religious than in any point in recorded history. And atheists, especially those of the 'new' movement like Dawkins, need to understand that it's of their making. If they don't like parts of it, it's up to them to handle it.
