There's an article at Modern Reformation that presents a fascinating history of non-belief as developed by philosophers over the years:

This is an impressive article, well research and thought out. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the historical development of atheism. It does appear that the author is writing this to establish a foundation from which to debunk the New Atheism movement embodied by Christopher Hitchens and other antitheists. The only thing I would point out to the author is that this movement does not represent the mainstream of non-believers in the United States. Most of us could care less whether someone else practices a religion, as long as they don't use violence to attempt to codify their religious beliefs in law.
