This new mythology requires arguably far greater leaps of faiths than any major religion in history yet it's championed confidently by atheists.

It's a weird situation. The entire science lover culture is like this. Dawkins for example constantly gets made fun of for being an ignorant, rabid doctrinaire.

It is not common knowledge because the good anti-Dawkin polemics rarely get attention in the public sphere, but demolishing him and the other New Atheists seems to be a pretty popular exercise in certain intellectual circles. Plenty of scholars who specialise in religious studies or comparative religion consider him to be a complete clown who does not even understand his object of criticism.
