What are some Good Atheist Musicians?

This is just a place to recommend Atheists in Music. I would recommend Tom Lehreh, mostly because his songs are timeless/funny, and I am in a phase of enjoying Piano music by the likes of him and Nobuyuki Tsujii.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I'm pretty sure Johnny Rotten is Atheist.

Henry Rollins almost certainly is.

I'm pretty sure Trent Reznor of NIN.

I don't know for sure, but John Lennon probably was....consider the song "Imagine" ("...and No Religion, too...")

I know that Marilyn Manson was actually ordained by Anton LaVey in the Church of Satan,

I'm sure you could mine the genres of Death Metal and Goth/Industrial and probably come up with one or two Atheists.

Diamanda Galas has called herself a "Greek Orthodox Atheist" and wrote a book called "The Shit of God".

I think...I hope...I'm pretty sure...Zappa.

I remember reading that someone in the Pixies was Atheist or Agnostic.

And if Lemmy isn't, then I don't know what the world is coming to.

...as to how many of these you'd consider to be "good" music, that's subjective.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Billy Joel famously identifies as atheist.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Thomas Gabriel Fischer, if you like that sort of thing.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The whole band rush. I think gene simmons is 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.
