Got any atheist anthems that you folks love listening to? I’m really all about that music life and I’m super curious to check out some atheist songs you guys might be into. Anyone have a favorite?
are you looking for just… good, secular, music? or maybe you’re looking specifically things that deal with religion, but from an atheist perspective? Perhaps you’re looking for songs that spoof worship songs? Or maybe, just, like, worship songs that are just awful?
Well, most only have intro songs, and those slap. But there are some standalone ones, like The Periodic Table Song. Or whatever Feynman did with bongos.
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage Called ‘the blood of the exploited working class’ But now they’ve overcome their shyness Now they’re calling me ‘Your Highness’ And a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
Ooh, good one! I personally like the cover of Dear God by Lawless with Sydney Wayser. I agree that the idea of an atheist anthem is a little strange, though--like a song reveling in how many fairies there aren't.
I'm sure there are some songs about atheism, but atheists aren't really making their non believe a part of their identity. So asking for an "atheist anthem" is really fucking weird. Just listen to any non religious music, which is like the absolute vast majority of all songs out there.
Listened to this sing for years before actually understanding the lyrics lol - considering I was an atheist for even longer, I wonder if my subconscious knew and just didn't tell me 🤷🏻♂️
“You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will.”
"I don′t go for ancient wisdom
I don't believe just ′cos ideas are tenacious it means they are worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
And yes I have all of the usual objections to the miseducation
Of children who in tax-exempt institutions are taught to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and wrong
But I quite like the songs"
song bites back, and the chorus makes me cry a bit
