RE: Good songs about atheism/being a atheist
The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned by others is "Undertow" by R.E.M.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - The Only Way
Midge Ure - Dear God (different than the XTC song)
George Gershwin - It Ain't Necessarily So (From Porgy and Bess)
John Lennon - God
Tool - Opiate
Rush - Faithless
Rush - Roll the Bones
A Perfect Circle - Judith
Sugercubes - Deus

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Good to see so many rush fans here, they are favorite group. Yes i knew about roll the bones and freewill. Vapor trails and Armour and sword follow a similiar theme and are excellent too.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

A song about wearing the "straight jacket" among the common folk:





A song about progressing beyond the threats and bribes of your traditions:

I played it at work!

Yes, that's what you call "technical virgins."


One of my favorite lines from "King of the Hill" was when Hank was talking to the Christian rock artist and said, "Can't you see that you're not making Christianity better? You're just making Rock worse!"
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Cannot believe I didn't think of this earlier. Shame on me. For the metal fans:

Amon Amarth - Slaves of Fear. Read the lyrics if you can't understand what he's saying. It's pretty accurate.





They have other songs regarding the topic too, like Where Is Your God?


Here is the link to my sig's song. Great stuff if I may say so. Why go atheist when you can be your own god? Smile





Tis a good mix of Opeth, BTBAM and Dream Theater. Mostly Opeth.


And finally, as promised, here is the YouTuber who does atheism-based rapping. It's generally a "gangsta rap" sort of style.

Enjoy Smile
No creator in the heavens above (I am the lightning)
Rest your weary mind
No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)
I have realized I AM GOD

Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist

I don't know if it exactly qualifies as atheist, but it's awesome- and from a country singer, pretty frickin brave:
