Atheist songs

What would the world be like if there was nothing to oppress people? No money, no power, no religion?
It’s almost impossible to imagine, though very appealing.

The paradox of an infinitely powerful and benevolent God, and all the evil in the world, is one that’s apparent to anybody with any common sense.
Yet, no religion could come up with a reasonable solution, except that of "you need faith".

A song for stalwart supporters of sacred unions between people loving each other. That is, as long as they differ in their 23rd chromosome.

This is actually a whole album (the linked song is its first track).
The life of Jesus is seen through a different lens, that of apocryphal Gospels. Stripped of the most dogmatic facets of the story, what remains is a very humane story, about both love and pain.

Jesus was nothing but human. Yet the example of his unconditional, human love, is way more than most religions have to offer.

A suggestion to Jesus not to come back on Earth: he wouldn’t like the way we used him and his name for our purposes.

The Messiah: bamboozler of the masses, whose lies keep being spread by his evangelists, taking advantage of people.

The stark comparison between an all-good God, and the evil in the world - or even just random unfair tragedies - leaves little room for believing. Unless He has a very sick sense of humour.

The concept of "Jesus" can be taken literally, as a deity, like religion does.
But it's much better to take it as a "verb", as a metaphor to spur people to be good to others, leaving all metaphysics aside.

It's close to impossible to believe in a god, when all around you, you see injustice and hardship. It looks like god has chosen to side with rich people, not caring about the poor.

A sarcastic song towards religious preachers who go door by door trying to convert people (or just take money from them).
In Italy, it is a quite common to have "testimoni di Geova" ringing your doorbell for this exact reason.

The most famous socialist anthem.
It promotes self-determination against any kind of master, either earthly or heavenly.

An in-depth analysis of the sexual behavior of some young Christians, which lays bare the contradictions of their backward thinking.

For people who aren't sheep, the famous quote from the Bible can be overturned as "The Lord is not my shepherd".

What if God was more of a rebel than his bigot worshippers are?

A reflection about the misuse of the concept of God and the way it’s usually declined into religion.

You don't need to tell yourself lies about the universe; knowing that everything must come to an end, doesn't take anything away from the beauty of living.

Most people outgrow their childish fears and beliefs in supernatural creatures. Atheism is just taking one step further.

You can be extremely grateful for being alive even if there’s no higher power to thank for that.
