Well it proves Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers are correct. Look at the double negative in the title.

Yeah, pretty much.
There aren't too many atheist songs pre-1970s. Post 1970ish there are a lot; still many fewer than the number of christian songs of course, but then most of the christian songs are crap. For
quality popular music post-1970 atheism wins hands down. Its not even close.
Anyway, to continue. Heres the Sugarcubes (Bjork's band before she went solo) telling us that Deus does not exist:

And next is Nirvana, imho one of the very best rock bands ever. They're doing a cover of a song by The Vaselines called 'Jesus doesn't love me for a sunbeam'.

Fucking awesome!
And lastly (for now), are the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a decent live video of this one:

Atheism rocks.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
