Even if religion or belief in God are delusional the power to inspire people to great things is unquestionable. I can't think of any poetry, art, music or literature inspired by atheism..
Look up Greydon Square. Or Ashes Divide. Or Tool. Or A Perfect Circle. Look up Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking. Look up a lovely little poem called "Churchgoing." Look up Alfred Hrdlicka, Sebastian Horsley, Marcel Duchamp, Brendan Powell Smith, and countless others.
You can't think of any because you didn't look and you didn't want to. I have a harder time remembering them by name than I do if they even exist because there's so many of them.
