An upcoming "powerful punch" by Richard Dawkins or an upcoming feeble tap by Richard Dawkins?

The website God Discussion recently reported:

When it comes to separation of church and state issues and promoting reason over religious dogma, the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science's new website, Innovating for a secular world, promises to deliver a powerful punch for activists and those interested in learning more about the issues.

In the last two years for example the website richarddawkins.net has seen a decline in global market share according to the web traffic tracking company Alexa.

New Atheism is a new form of militant atheism which started in the period between 2004 and 2007. The New Atheism movement has not had much of an impact in terms of gaining new adherents to atheism. In a March 10, 2008 USA Today article Stephen Prothero wrote:

Numbers lie, but they also tell tales untrustworthy and otherwise. So the key question stirring around the much discussed U.S Religious Landscape Survey released in late February by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life is what tale does it state about the state of the union.
