Atheism presents itself as a modest position: not a worldview, not a denial—merely an absence of belief. It claims neutrality, demands evidence, and places the burden of proof entirely on God.

This book argues that such neutrality is an illusion.

The Impossibility of Atheism does not attempt to refute atheism by piling up arguments for God. Instead, it exposes a deeper problem: atheism cannot even begin without relying on what it seeks to exclude. Reason, truth, morality, meaning, and responsibility—all are used confidently by atheists, yet none can be grounded within a godless account of reality.

Atheism, the book argues, survives only by borrowing.

Drawing on Vaiṣṇava theology and rigorous philosophical analysis, the author shows that denial of God already presupposes the very conditions only God can explain. This makes atheism not merely false, but structurally impossible. It is not an alternative worldview. It is a posture of suppression—living within a theistic reality while verbally rejecting its source.

• Along the way, the book examines:
• Why “absence of belief” is a rhetorical strategy, not a neutral stance
• How epistemic neutrality conceals unacknowledged commitments
• Why modern atheism retreats instead of refutes
• How self-deception, not ignorance, sustains unbelief
• Why revelation is not optional, but necessary
• Why “atheists,” understood as occupants of a coherent godless standpoint, do not exist

For devotees, this book is meant to be more than a critique of atheism. It is a wake-up call—and a relief. If atheism is impossible, then doubt about Kṛṣṇa is not intellectual depth. It is residue. Once this is seen, the soul no longer stands outside God asking whether He is real. It recognizes that it never could.

The result is not fanaticism, but clarity. Not arrogance, but rest.

The Impossibility of Atheism is written for readers who are no longer satisfied with playing defense, softening claims, or pretending that God must be argued into existence. It calls for intellectual honesty, devotional confidence, and fidelity to the truth already known.

There is no neutral ground.

And there never was.
