"The New Atheists came on the contemporary scene with an unprecedented mixture of confidence and scorn. And, sadly, most of the books written in response have conveyed an impression of ad hoc defensiveness. But not this one. The Godless Delusion by Patrick Madrid and Kenneth Hensley wages a full-scale frontal assault on the tallest turret of the New Atheists’ stronghold
— the claim to moral and rational superiority. With remorseless logic, wit, skill, and boundless, joyful enthusiasm it lays waste that stronghold, routs the enemy, occupies the high ground for Christ their king, and dares anyone to retake it. Books on philosophical apologetics don’t get more exhilarating than this."
— Ronald K. Tacelli, SJ, professor of philosophy, Boston College, co-author of Handbook of Christian Apologetics

The Godless Delusion is a clear
and compelling critique of naturalism and the ‘New Atheism’ that rests upon it. Madrid and Hensley show that the secularist’s pose of moral and rational superiority is undermined by his own fundamental philosophical assumptions.
—Edward Feser, Ph.D., author of The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism, professor of philosophy, Pasadena City College

Most books that take on the current spate of atheists look at the inner contradictions in their arguments—and there are many. But Patrick Madrid and Kenneth Hensley try another, and ultimately more fruitful approach. They look at the contradictions
of the atheists with themselves, showing that above all, their arguments against God are at embarrassing odds with their own everyday experience and actions, their own deepest assumptions, and their own moral compass.
— Benjamin Wiker, Ph.D., author of Ten Books that Screwed Up the World and co-author of Answering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins’ Case Against God


The Godless Delusion takes on the ‘new atheism’ of our times and pulls the rug right out from underneath it. In the words of the authors, this book demonstrates ‘the truth of God’s existence and the foolishness of the atheist-naturalist worldview.’ I wholeheartedly recommend this work of apologetics for anyone who is serious about defending our faith in the existence of God.
