Hallelujah from Leonard Cohen is most definitely not about faith and I laugh/get mad everytime I hear it as a religious hymn (often changing the lyrics). Raised a Jew, became a buddhist monk who essentially left spirituality behind, This song is a complex interweave of meaning that is most probably a farce of religion.
This one is more anti-TV evangelist:

Agree about Leonard. I love it when some pompous arse takes a piece not understanding that the lyric is a contradiction to what it is believed by the title. My favourite misunderstanding is when when of the presidents, I can't remember, who took Springsteen's Born In The USA as an anthem!
@EmbracingTheVoid Thanks. I thought it seemed a strange idea but now it makes sense as to why. Shame Nancy didn't give him a heads up!
I'm not the first to answer the question in this manner, but I must admit that "Imagine" by John Lennon came immediately to mind. Another song came to mind though I'm not sure that I completely understand the lyrics. Is "Man in a Box" by Alice in Chains a good candidate ?

Indigo Girls- Closer to fine “There’s more than one answer to these questions, pointing me in a crooked line. And the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine.”

Almost anything from Corporate Avenger, but the song "The Bible Is Bullshit" is a great start...

great song I'd never heard before.
I keep forgetting about her (not really my genre). My friends at Ask An Atheist interviewed her a few months ago. Even if her music style isn't my "go to", she is very talented.
@TroyBarber64 She si a geart human being I talked to her several hours before a show in Denver.

"Die Gedanken sind frei" (Thoughts are free) is a German song about the freedom of thought. The original lyricist and the composer are unknown, though the most popular version was rendered by Hoffmann von Fallersleben in 1842.
Bilingual Lyrics by Arthur Kevess
Die Gedanken sind frei My thoughts freely flower, Die Gedanken sind frei My thoughts give me power. No scholar can map them, No hunter can trap them, No man can deny: Die Gedanken sind frei! I think as I please And this gives me pleasure, My conscience decrees, This right I must treasure; My thoughts will not cater To duke or dictator, No man can deny– Die Gedanken sind frei! And if tyrants take me And throw me in prison My thoughts will burst free, Like blossoms in season. Foundations will crumble, The structure will tumble, And free men will cry: Die Gedanken sind frei!
