I highly recommend this essay by David Bentley Hart:Believe It Or Not, at First Things. So much of this essay resonates that if I were to excerpt those segments, the entire essay would be copied over.
However, I appreciate not only his critique of the New Atheists but also his appreciation of Nietzsche, not because it matches my own, but because he also notices the Nietzschean depth of analysis which eludes the superficial Atheist whiners of today's race to sell books to the maleducated.
Read the whole thing and appreciate the beauty of the prose as well as of the argument.

That has to be the most devastating critique of New Atheism that I have ever read. I have often read that Nietzsche is so admired (even by theistic philosophers and theologians) because he had the unflinching fortitude to look directly into the black hole of the Void, and was sucked into that madness which marked the final years of his life.
Thank you very much for the link.
