Music

Any music that does not directly target a religious audience is "secular music". There are many secular songs that have theistic undertones and others are more blatant in their theistic views. Are there songs about Atheism, agnosticism, religious doubt, and ridicule? Does this kind of music exist? You bet it does!

A common misconception is that lyrics saying something negative about religion are only Punk, Heavy Metal, and Death Metal. As you will see from the music below, that is clearly not the case. For those theists that refuse to listen to secular music, it is too bad. Most secular music does not promote violence or hatred and it does not cause children to commit suicide or attack public schools. Most of the music I listen to (new wave, synthpop, progressive, industrial, postmodern, and alternative) comes from artists with serious messages; and a few have some things they'd like to say about religion.

A listed band or artist on this page is not necessarily Atheist. The groups listed on this page had something to say about religion in their lyrics and that is all that qualified them to be here. Their personal beliefs or lack thereof is none of my business.
