Care to share yours??
I have three favourites
1. Suzanne. Leonard Cohen
Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
He spent a long time watching from his lonely prison tower
And when if knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said, All men will be sailors then until the sea shall take them
2. I have forgiven Jesus, Morrissey
The name speaks for itself.
3. Nick Cave, Into my Arms
I don't believe in an interventionist god
But if I did I would ask him not to touch a hair of your head, leave you as you are
And if he had to direct you, direct you into my arms.
Great topic, I hope there are some good responses.0 -

There are lots of peaceful atheist lyrics, everyone knows Lennon's "Imagine" and Pink Floyd have a few atheist bits and bobs, but Heavy Metal is the greatest source of anti-religion lyrics.
Can't beat the 'ol bit of Slayer. I know the lyrics aren't great but hey, you wanted religion-bashing didn't you?JESUS SAVES

Other tidbits:
Cult
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
There is no fucking Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
Read Between the Lies
Evangelist you claim God speaks through you,
Your restless mouth full of lies gains popularity.
You care not for the old that suffer,
When empty pockets cry from hunger.Circle of Beliefs
Circle of beliefs
Secrets never keep
Living in a lie
Right before your eyes
Born without a brain
Helpless is your name
All you do is pray
Living is your pain
Mentally so small you can't
Accept another side
Your point of view a memory
Because it doesn't mean a thing
The resurrection's waiting for
A world without sin
The temples will crumble
While awaiting for it to begin
All your life he's been the cause
A man impaled upon a cross
Pure religious holocaust
If religion dies it's not my loss
Darkness of Christ
Mankind in his insatiable search for divine
Knowledge has discarded all biblical teachings
Realizing that the strength of religion is the repression of
knowledge
All structures of religion have collapsedDisciple
Drones since the dawn of time
Compelled to live your sheltered lives
Not once has anyone ever seen
Such a rise of pure hypocracy
I'll instigate I'll free your mind
I'll show you what I've known all this time
God Hates Us All, God Hates Us All
You know it's true God hates this place
You know it's true he hates this race
Homicide-Suicide
Hate heals, you should try it sometime
Strive for Peace with acts of war
The beauty of death we all adore
I have no faith distracting me
I know why your prayers will never be answered
God Hates Us All; God Hates Us All
God Hates Us All; God Hates Us All
New Faith
Holy man open up your eyes
To the ways of the world you've been so blind
As the walls of religion come crashing down
How's the ignorance taste the second time around
Tell me how it feels knowing chaos will never end
Tell me what it's like when the celebration begins
Welcome to the horror of the revelation
Tell me what you think of your savior now
I reject all the biblical views of the truth
Dismiss it as the folklore of the times
I won't be force fed prophecies
From a book of untruths for the weakest mind
This one's pretty cool. Satan and his cronies attacking a church:
Haunting the Chapel
The holy cross
Symbol of lies
Intimitade the lives of Christian born
Speak of death
The words of hate
Anticipation grows amongst the dead
Hell has seen
The priests attempt
To bring forth their lord of the cross
Strike of twelve
Raise the dead
The chapel comes under attack
The ghosts of sin
Torment the priests
Their altar will soon be destroyed
Heaven's palace
Turning black
The church now belongs to the dead
Blackened magic
Infest with lust
Lucifer rules supreme
The crystal ball shows unknown fate
The last thing that's heard is the screams
Ghosts from hell invade this feeble shrine
Heaven's holy house will fall in time
Satan's morbid soldiers chant in lust
Destruction of the church we'll burn the cross
Attacking angels as they pray to god
Tormented preachers hail the twisted cross
Haunting the chapel
Hell's demons prevail
Death has come
The house of god has failed
Haunting the Chapel
That was the easy going end of the anti-religion spectrum. Deicide are at the top. Actually, they're OVER the top! You gotta laugh. Here are a few snippets:Deicide
Three days to rise
If he lives again he is sure to die
I killed Jesus
Just to see him bleed on his pupped throne
I am evil
I'm the Deicide and I killed the lord
No more reasons
I will kill the world in another form
I rule this world
NAIL HIM
Kill the Christian
Armies of darkness unite
Destroy their temples and churches with fire
Where in his world will you hide
Sentenced to death, the anointment of christ
In due time your path leads to me
Put you out of your misery
The death of prediction
Kill the christian
Kill the christian...dead!
Confessional Rape
Father integrity, perverted secrecy
Molesting innocent children you're trusted with
What is vowed you cannot live, unbound by celibence
Indulge in sacrilege, to serve unto Satan
Manipulate through threats of god's hate
Abhorrently extorted
Molest the faith, confessional rape
Denial is abortedBlame it on God
You are the one who killed his own son
We are the ones you're blaming it on
Lust was created beginning with hymn
When we indulge we are guilty of sin
Torture our lives with confusion and lies
Mass contradiction, religious facades
BLAME IT ON GOD
BLAME IT ON GOD
BLAME IT ON GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIAR
This one seems to be about those Magdeline Sister type schools...Father Baker's
There exists a place of agony
Where children are held captive
Belt across the back, the nuns attack
Believe in god or be beaten to death
Work to earn your keep, no time to sleep
You better know the bible verse
Or go without and die of thirst
Resent your birth - thanks to god!!!!!!!!!!!
This one's gas:Mad at God
Behead you with the bible, the book of god and failing son,
There is no resurrection for god has left us to Satan,
Reach out in desperation receive his empty words of love,
Revel in mans creation; the light of god has turned to shit.
So's this:When Heaven Burns
Wonder and wait as I stare at the cross,
Thinking in ways that have Christ at a loss,
Kick your ass out through the lord's pearly gates,
When heaven burns and engulfed into flame.
Blasphemes villain, the killings begin,
Murdering Christians and torturing them,
Conquering churches and slaughtering lambs,
Doing it all for my love of Satan... (I love you Satan, my lord)0 -

You've got a methodist coloring book
And you color really well
But don't color outside the lines
Or God will send you to Hell
'Cause God hates war
And God hates crime
A' but he really hates people
Who color outside the lines
You've got a methodist coloring book
Don't color outside the lines
'Cause if God doesn't strike you with lightning
He'll at least make you go blind
Good people get sent to the attic
Bad people will roast in the cellar
But there's a special kind a' Hell
For those who just won't learn to color
God is gracious, God is good
So let's color in his book
God wears cotton, God wears rayon
He can mend a broken crayon
God is honest, He don't take payola
Let's all thank him for our Crayolas!
You got a methodist coloring book! [x3]
(ah..oh..oh) [x2]
You got a methodist coloring book! [x3]
(oh..oh..oh.. [a very emotional performance])
You've got a methodist coloring book
And you color really well
But don't color out side the lines
Or God will send you to He0 -
From the excellent cello quartet apocalyptica:Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers and call me rare
Save your soul tonight
Drift among the faithfull
Bury your desires
Aberrations fill your head
You need a place to hide
And I am
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?
Chorus
When your world’s come crashing down
I want to relive.
Your god is looking down on me!
I’m not Jesus,
Jesus wasn’t fair!
You confess it all away,
But it’s only **** to me
Your god is looking down on me!
I’m not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
No I won’t! (2x)
I’ve thought you were a good man,
I’ve thought you talked to god.
Your hippocratic messiah and child abusive turned satanic.
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Chorus
When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
Your god is looking down on me!
I’m not Jesus,
You can’t run away!
And the innocence you spoil
Find a way to live
Your god is looking down on me!
I’m not Jesus
I will not forgive!
I won’t forgive.
I won’t do whatever you want to.
(2x)
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me?
Nooo!
Chorus
When your world’s come crashing down,
I want to relive
Your god is looking down on me
I’m not Jesus
Jesus wasn’t fair!
You confess it all away,
But it’s only **** to me!
Your god is looking down on me!
I’m not Jesus,
I will not,
I’m not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
Oh, I will not forgive, yeah yeah!
No, I will not forgive!
And of course, Metallica deal with the issue quite a bit as James hetfield grew up in a Christian scientist family:Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when youd kneel
Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above
It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never your hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road in your way
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when youd kneel
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by deepened nail
Follow the God that failedNew blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away-eay
Chorus:
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
They dedicate their lives
To RUNNING all of his
He tries to please THEM all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
whoa, whoa
Never Free
Never Me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
Never Free
Never Me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
Never Free
Never Me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN

How about Dropkick me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life Actually I think that might be truly religious!
Also Oh Your God, by Deus:
I believe in anything
As long as it just has that ring
Of truth and I can lay down my head
Cause I seen so many people lost
I still believe at any cost
That we musta been misled
Oh your God!
So it tragedy would make you feel
You need a divine drug to heal
And a better god, cuts a better deal,
That's what you got
See I'm stuck in this ungodly game
And I only have myself to blame
In the name of the father, in the name of fame,
In the name of what?
In the name of something bigger
Your god can only snigger
And the sight of all this rigour
With sex the only trigger
For love… or was it the other way round?
Cause it's only beauty that makes me sweat
And to me it seems the best bet yet,
In your head or in your bed
That's my hallowed ground
Oh ooooh…
Oh your God!
Who looks…
… over my shoulder?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh……..!0 -

Here's a song I'm listening to at the moment, 'Head Rolls Off' by Frightened Rabbit. It's all about how you should make the most of this life instead of just living for an afterlife. Great song.Jesus is just a Spanish boy's name
How come one man got so much fame?
And to enemy, it's pointless to anybody
That doesn't have faith
Give me the cloth and I'll wipe my face.
When it's all gone, something carries on
And it's not morbid at all
Just when nature's had enough of you
When my blood stops, someone else's will not
When my head rolls off, someone else's will turn
And while I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to earth
So you can burn me
Cause we'll all be the same, the same way
Dirt in someone's eyes cried down the drain
I believe in a house in the clouds
And God's got his dead friends 'round
He's painted all the walls red
To remind them they're all dead
And you know when it's all gone, something carries on
And it's not morbid at all
Just when nature's had enough of you.
When my blood stops, Someone else's will not.
When my head rolls off, Someone else's will turn.
You can mark my words, I'll make changes to earth
While I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to earth
Tiny changes to earth
Tiny changes to earth0 -

This thread needs this:
Ironically it was created to slag off Dawkins, but make your own mind up.0 -
I'll take your word for it, Myksyk!
I haven't really been arsed reading any of the above. I'll take a decent tune over a soapbox every time.
My favourite band (Cradle Of Filth) is really terrible; it's the ultimate proof I have a lot of taste, and all of it bad.
One of their albums is a concept album of the Bible from Satan's perspective. It's not exactly anti-religious, but it sure would annoy a lot of people. The fact it is about Satan would piss them off too.0 -

Completely forgot Faithful by Pearl Jam! It starts as an attack on the whole prayer thing, that no-ones listening to them etc, and ends with the most important thing in life, being faithful to your loved one, and using the energy people waste on religion to just love that special someone in lifePlaque on the wall says that no ones slept here
Its rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
Im through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Were faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Were faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
M.y.t.h. is
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing
And everything is you
Me you, you me, its all related
Whats a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you
