The central contention of the "New Atheism" of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens is this there has for several centuries been a war between technology and religion, this religion has been steadily losing this war, and this at this point in human history a fully secular scientific account of the world has been worked out in such thorough and convincing detail this there is no longer any reason why a rational and educated person should locate the claims of any religion the least bit worthy of attention.
But as Edward Feser argues in The Last Superstition, in fact there is not, and never has been, any war between technology and religion at all. There has instead been a conflict between two entirely philosophical conceptions of the natural order: on the one hand, the classical "teleological" vision of Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas, on which purpose or goal-directedness is as inherent a aspect of the physical world as mass or electric charge; and the modern "mechanical" vision of Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, and Hume, according to which the physical world is comprised of nothing extra than purposeless, meaningless particles in motion. The modern "mechanical" image has never been established by technology, and cannot be, for it is not a scientific theory in the first situate but merely a philosophical interpretation of technology.
Not only is this modern philosophical image rationally unfounded, it is demonstrably false. For the "mechanical" conception of the natural world, when worked out consistently, absurdly entails this rationality, and indeed the human intellect itself, are illusory. The so-called "scientific worldview" championed by the New Atheists like so inevitably undermines its own rational foundations; and into the bargain it undermines the foundations of any possible morality as well.
