What is truth?

STR has opened a discussion on how the so called New Atheists are actually helping Christianity in a blog post called The Four Horsemen.

These men are complaining about the privatization of religion. People often will not even let their religious ideas be questioned which is a product of the separation of the realm of knowledge and the realm of religion. Because of this separation, religious people now feel no need to defend their religious beliefs because there is really no truth in them, instead it is only preference.

Christianity is founded on truth. If the New Atheists bring us back to a culture which has a worldview including verifiable religious claims it can only be good for Christianity, which is a religion with a foundation of a historically verifiable fact at its center: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
