Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.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!

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.

I was going to say that one, but you already beat me to it.
Almost anything from Corporate Avenger, but the song "The Bible Is Bullshit" is a great start...

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.”

There are so many from Bone Poets Orchestra that I absolutely love so I kind of picked one at random from their Atheist Anthems album.
Their music can be found on Spotify.
