The fallacies of atheism are discussed, a more coherent philosophical position is adduced and a basis for proponents of the "new atheism" to find common cause with people of faith is considered. This agenda is realized by first correcting the erroneous definitions and other fallacies of the "atheists" by which they have avoided any discussion of metaphysics and, in their attempted substitution of concrete evidence for logic, any use of reason. These are the failings which prevent the "atheists" from seeing that the existence of God is a truism. Next, a general metaphysical framework is introduced to lay the basis of rational discussion about the nature of God. Finally, the social criticism by the "new atheism", wrongly directed at religion, is recast as the presentation of three common fallacies. People of faith, and reasoning people generally, would concur that these are fallacies and dangerous ones at that. Therein is the common cause.
