Ooh, yeah, that XTC song is probably my favorite of the ones I saw on those sites.

Dear God, hope you got the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
I can't believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear God, don't know if you noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in

I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in
It's you
Dear God.

dear god was the one i thought of

The Wages Of Sin
The Rainmakers

I was praying last night when an angel broke the line

She said "I'm gonna have to put you on hold for a time"

I said "Hold like Hell, let me talk to the Boss"

She said "Sorry sucker (sinner), it's the Boss's day off"

And I realized then that the wages of sin

Was two bucks an hour and working weekends

I was ignoring the thief who was lashed to the cross

He cried "Help me get this son-of-a-bitch off"

I said "I would if I could, I can't so I won't

Well I wouldn't want you messing your hair up, so don't"

And I realized then that the wages of sin

Was all the lumber you can carry, all the nails you can bend

The wages of sin, the price that you pay

Is worrying and fretting every second of the day

If Heaven is guilt, no sex and no show

Then I'm not sure if I really want to go, Oh

The wages of sin, the reward of fear

Is worrying and fretting every second of the year

The Church and the State, your God and Countrykind

One gets your body, the other gets your mind

Mary, Mary Magdalene, how 'bout a date?

You've been wasting your time staying up so late

Your boyfriend's dead, the word is you're a whore

Just about then I heard a knock on the door

And I realized then that the wages of sin

Was a bad reputation and too many friends

The wages of sin (repeats)

I'll be damned. I thought I owned the only copy of Tornado ever sold.

That would probably be second best to Billy Joel's "Only the good die young."

I don't know if this is exactly anti-god, but i'm pretty sure you won't hear it played at a Southern Babdist Convention . . .

Friend of the Devil

I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around.

Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.

Set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.

Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.

Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.

Set out runnin' but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

-- Robert Hunter, from the American Beauty album, by the Grateful Dead

I forgot about that old chestnut. Love that song. Grateful Dead was a fun band to see too. Too bad Jerry had to go so soon.

Sky Pilot by The Animals (anti-war tune questioning the role of the military chaplain)

He blesses the boys, as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man

Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky

He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry

Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky

He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given, they move down the line
But he'll stay behind, and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding, or ease the hate

As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels so tired as he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said

Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky

In the morning they return with tears in their eyes
The stench of death lifts up to the skies
A young soldier so ill, looks at the Sky Pilot
Remembers the words 'Thou shalt not kill'.

Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky

My friend, who isn't a christian, plays her brothers cd of christian music in the car. I asked her why the other day, and it transpired that it's purley to laugh at. She said: 'it's religious! It's funny!'
I thought that was hillaious. She said it as if, 'well if it's religious, of course it's funny.'

I used to be in a music group at my old church, and some of the songs weren't that bad. Musically they were quite predictable, but some of them were good. Couldn't stand the lyrics though, obviously.

Anti-religious lyrics
Oh, father high in heaven,
smile down up-on your so-o-o-n!
Who'se busy with his, money games!
His women, and his gu-u-u-n!

Oh, Jesus saveme!

And the unsung western hero'
He killed an Indian or thre-e-e!
Then he made his name in, Hollywood,
to set the white man, fre-e-e-e!
Oh Jesussaveme!

Well I saw him in the city'
and on the mountains of the mo-o-o-n!
his cross was rather, bloo-o-ody, and he could hardly roll his sto-o-o-one!
Oh, Jesussaveme! Jethro Tull, also, thiteenth Psalm, and Locomotive breath

David Bowie
Believe in the strangest things, loving the aliens,
You'll believe, you're loving the aliens!
Believe in the strangest things, loving the aliens!

But if you pray, then your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray, and the heathen lie will disappear!!!

Prayer!!! It hides the saddest views!!
Believe in the strangest things
loving the alien!

The Vaselines/Kurt Cobain (Corruption of popular children's song)

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not meant for me.
Don't expect me to cry
for all the reasons, you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Locomotiv eBreath

In the shuffling madness, of the locomotive breath, rungs the all-time loser, headlong to his death!
Well he feels the pistons scraping, steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle, and the train it won't stop going no way to slow down!

He sees his children jumping off, at stations one by one
ANd the all-time winner, has got him by the balls!!
His woman and his best friend, in bed and having fun!
He picks up Gideon's Bible, open at page one, 'cause God, he stole the handle, and the train it won't stop going no way to slow down!!

@lindor,

Maybe it’s too late for an intellectual debate,
but a residue of confusion remains.

Changing with the times,
and developmentally tortured minds
are the average citizen's sources of pain.

Tell me what we’re fighting for"
I don’t remember anymore,
only temporary reprieve

And the world might cease
if we fail to tame the beast
from the faith that you release
comes an atheist peace.

Atheist peace.

Poilitical forces rent
bitter cold winds of discontent
and the modern age emerged triumphantly.
But now it seems we've stalled
And it’s time to de-evolve
and relive the dark chapters of history

Tell me what we’re fighting for"
No progress ever came from war,
only a false sense of increase

and the world won’t wait
for the truth upon a plate
but we’re ready now to feast on an atheist peace.

Atheist peace

pretty good one

Heavenly Bank Account

Frank Zappa

And if these words you do not heed
Your pocketbook just kinda might recede
When some man comes along and
Claims godly need
He will clean you out right through your
Tweed

That's right, remember there is a big
Difference between kneeling down
And bending over...
He's got twenty million dollars
In his heavenly bank account...
All from those chumps who was
Born again
Oh yeah, oh yeah

He's got seven limousines
And a private plane...
All for the use of his
Special friends
Oh yeah, oh yeah
He's got thousand-dollar suits
And a wembley tie...
Girls love to stroke it
While he's on the phone
Oh yeah, oh yeah

At the house of representatives
He's a groovy guy...
When he gives thanks
He is not alone...

He is dealin'
He is really dealin'
Irs can't determine
Where the hook is

It is easy with the bible
To pretend that
You're in show biz

They won't get him
They will never get him
For the naughty stuff
That he did

It is best in cases like this
To pretend that
You are stupid

He's got presidential help
All along the way

He says the grace
While the lawyers chew
Oh yeah
They sure do

And the govenors agree to say:
"he's a lovely man!"
He makes it easier for
Them to screw
All of you...
Yes, that's true!

'cause he helps put the fear of god
In the common man
Snatchin' up money
Everywhere he can
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

He's got twenty million dollars
In his heavenly bank account
You ain't got nothin', people
You ain't got nothin', people
You ain't got nothin', people
Thank the man...oh yeah

I find it harder to find anti-God/anti-religious songs in English, but it's very easy
in Spanish. Perhaps because of the influence of the Catholic church.

One of the best works is by my friend Virulo, a great musician and humorist, who has written several "Operas Son" (Salsa Operas).

http://www.cancioneros.com/imatges/1546.jpg

He depicts a racist, misogynist, vindictive, divisive God, who has made the world worst.
"If we were created by your resemblance, then I can be God and sit next to you. Thinking and thinking I know that you're not an angel, or a guardian or a lighthouse. We don't need that image anymore, or dogmas or fear... "

You know, the songs are the only thing I miss about being a follower of The Hypothesis of Christianity. I used to actually like much of the music. But now that I don't believe in their false god it would be pretty hypocritical to listen to their music.

You cant miss Slayer! Theres a few anti-God songs, for example Skelton Christ
(You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the second coming
Life's too short to be focused on insanity
I've seen the ways of God)

Jihad (**** your God, erase his name)

and Disciple
(Man made virus infecting the world
Self-destruct human time bomb
What if there is no God would you think the fuckin' same
Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith
Wake the **** up can't ignore what I say
I got my own philosophy)

but my personal favourite has to be Cult... the chorus goes...
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscure
Religion's a whore

The pestilence is Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice. Six six six

Either that, or if you're into your death metal theres Deicide (literal meaning the killing of a God)

Hope it helps
