Moving Atheist-composed Music, Volume 7:










Okay, I've included 21 moving pieces composed by atheists. If you're not moved by any of these, then you probably don't have taste.

Well, technically Yuja, and if I'm interpreting the Pinyin accurately, it's short for Yujia.

I love my atheist peeps (on this forum, I don't know any in real life)....I'm sure they could make nice music if they wanted to.

Every Death/Black metal band that I've ever listened to is made up of members who don't believe in your god. It's the reason they produce the kind of music that they do. While a lot of it is very brutal, and or harsh and aggressive, some of their music is very melodic or atmospheric.
I listen to this genre of music for hours everyday, and it never fails to put a smile on my face.

Here's just a small sampling.

I am not saying I like all these, but it is certain that a great many people, theist and atheist alike, feel that these people have created moving music.

David Gilmour - guitarist, Pink Floyd. Some people consider him the most emotive guitarist alive.
Brian Eno - electronic musician, sound artist. Considered the father of ambient music.
Björk
Leoš Janáček
Geddy Lee - bassist with Rush
György Ligeti - one of my favorite composers
Peter Maxwell Davies - another favorite composer
Maurice Ravel
Rimsky-Korsakov
Andy Partridge - singer songwriter with XTC
Robert Smith - singer songwriter with The Cure
Eddy Veder - lead vocalist and lyricist with Pearl Jam
Edgard Varèse - composer
Steve Wilson - guitarist lyricist with the great prog band, Porcupine Tree, and solo material. You want moving music? Listen to the album, "The Raven That Refused to Sing".

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.

I covered most of those in my big series of videos earlier in this thread. I've bolded the ones I put in. Some of the non-bolded ones I'm familiar with, some I'm not. And of the ones I'm familiar with, some of them I don't care for (Bjork), some I like but wanted to put something emotive (I like Ligeti and Varese, but their music is a bit too spooky to qualify as "moving"), and I can only assume that I didn't put anything in by Rush because I was holding out for seeing Neal Peart on Wikipedia's list of atheists in music. Then again, with Neal Peart's infamous Randroid phase, his being an atheist would probably have gone without saying.
