There are many atheists in the punk genre.  Bad Religion is one of my favorites!

He was. I read his unedited last Playboy interview when it was released in paperback and he says as much explicitly.

Yep.

Also, XTC hasn't been mentioned, but having produced "Dear God", they're in the mix too.

Tim Minchin
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Jerry Cantrell, from AiC.

"The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here"

Come to me, I'll fill the hole
Why would I be lying
End fan, all planned out
Offering a wonderful
Peace of mind worth buying
Bow down last round up

I am wise and you don't know
A cloud is my home
Only some get in
Got a 'maginary friend

The devil put dinosaurs here
Jesus don't like a queer
The devil put dinosaurs here
No problem with faith just fear

Suicide Commando, if you're into industrial has one of my favorite anti-god songs, God is in the Rain.

But I'm just going to say the vast majority of industrial groups are atheist or pagan.
