Neither a Movement, nor New..."New Atheism"

This is a belief, that with Scientific Thinking...Religion can be Countered, Criticized and Exposed through Rational Argument wherever it's influence arise. The Underlying foundation for "new atheism" is predicated upon the structured thinking linked to a valid and verifiable Scientific Hypothesis...anything having Effects on the Physical Universe should be subjected to a hypothesis which can either be Validated or Falsified through Tests and Examinations (via standard methods of Science). The prevailing basis of the "New Atheism" argument is that Naturalism

 *(which refers to the philosophical viewpoint that the natural universe and its natural laws and forces (as opposed to supernatural ones) operate in the universe, and that nothing exists beyond the natural universe or, if it does, it does not affect the natural universe that we know)*

is an acceptable explanation for anything that gets observed in this (our) Universe...from the furthest galaxies, to the Origin of Life (including species, Inner workings of the Brain, AND even the existence of Consciousness)...NOWHERE in this argument is it necessary to introduce God, the supernatural or any religious fanaticism...
"Absence of Evidence, is evidence of absence"
when evidence can and should be expected

Is Our Ultimate need to reasonably explain? To logically deduce and reveal truths of mysteries that shroud our existence...???

The capability of Investigation...in order to legitimize all Supernatural claims and popular (or non-popular) beliefs!
But
To explain ones Moral Value and Ultimate meaning...that is where no empirical data is needed for any explanation...

There is an explanation in everything, well almost everything...No Need to Ever Justify or Explain who you are...just let life roll into the unstoppable cycle that it is!
Yet, again...nobody is perfect! Right?
