According to a Jeff Loomis interview, "This Godless Endeavor" is not a concept album but a "topic-to-topic" album, with all the songs dealing with "real life issues" that can "allegorically refer to the loss of identity, the meaning of life, the denouncement of God as a solution to all the problems that are caused by the conflicts that all the religions have initiated in various parts of the world. It's basically about human beings".
The song "A Future Uncertain" is a rewrite of "The World Unborn", from their 1992 "Utopia" demo.
"Sentient 6" is lyrically a sequel to "The Learning", from "The Politics of Ecstasy".
On the US promotional version of the album, the opening track has the extended title "Born (The Retribution of Spiritual Sickness)." This does not appear on any of the official editions.
This jewel case version came with a sticker which indicated that it was the Album of the Month in 5 European magazines:
Rock Hard, Metal Hammer, Heavy (Germany), Metallian (France) and
Metal & Hardrock Hammer World (Hungary).
