What are some of your favorite atheist/agnostic songs and song lyrics? I love the theme song for the Atheist Experience podcast and Imagine. Wondering what else is out there.

Tori Amos. "Do you need a woman to look after you...God, sometimes you just don't come through."

@orange_girl saw her in Cincinnati in the 90's. Top three shows. Madonna (three times), Tori, and I recently saw Childish Gambino...who took #3!!!

This is the first song that came to my mind. ?

Kreator -Enemy of God

They have lots of Athiest songs.

If they are Athiest shouldn't it be called Enemy of Nothing?

@Seminarian That really doesn't really make any sense. Read the lyrics.

Well, my favorites have already been posted, but here's another good one.

Hozier - Take Me To Church

I had no idea what that song was about. That is one of the saddest videos I've ever seen.

@CommonHuman
I haven't actually watched the video. Funny story though, first time I heard it was in the car with my daughter. It came on the radio and she commented something about how good it was. I groaned and made some snarky comment about it, thinking it was just another "god" song since I hadn't really been listening to the lyrics. she called me out "Are you actually even listening?"
Whoops, my bad. embarrassed 😉

Tim Minchin has a lot of good ones although his are for satire. “The pope song” “thank you god” “the good book” are 3 funny good jams.

He's great!

@AlanMargu have you heard “prejudice” song. Great anagram and jam.

I guess I'll be the sellout and suggest Modest Mouse. The album I'll recommend doesn't have the song everyone thinks of when they think atheist national anthem (Float On), but I think it's a far better album: The Moon & Antarctica. It has some impressive atheist thought.

The Ocean Breathes Salty us the first one that comes to my mind

@amdam87 That one was also very popular, but also (in my opinion) not as good as the album I suggested.

One of my favorites! Tim Minchin--Thank You God

@maturin1919 I love the tone of the music. It's perfect.

I will have to concentrate to see if I can invent a song of my own. Seeing poetry comes easily to me a song won't be far along.

John Lennon's Imagine will always be my favorite. It's timeless and a classic. It also makes me giggle when christians sing along

That was my first choice

Dear God by XTC is as powerful a statement as there is in my opinion.

I'm not one much lyrics, I'm more about the music.
I don't think Believer, or non-believer has anything to do with it.
Remember that a great deal of opera's, Symphonies, And other classical music was made from composers that were influenced by god.
Art, and Architecture follow into that catagory as well.

Our music director sings "Imagine" all the time at my New Thought Church. We consider it anti-religious not anti-god. I've been trying to figure out how to sing "Always look on the bright side of life" from Monty Python's Life of Brian in church. I'm pretty sure Eric Idol stuck the word shit in the lyrics to prevent this sort of thing, however. Grrrrr.

Here's one I just made up on the spot, sung to the tune of "Amazing Grace":

Amazing disgrace!
God's just a myth,
but some people think he's real.
Religions entice you to believe their con,
and then your tithes they steal.

Genesis - Jesus He Knows Me

My god Jethro Tull

Not an athiest song per say but it resonated with me. We are all made of stars by Moby.

I have a few:
Motorhead: (Don't Need) Religion

Woods of Ypres: Death is Not an Exit

Hardcore Superstar: We Don't Celebrate Sundays
