I like it, Mousethief...

I think the only way we are going to get a large body of atheist songs out there is if Bob Dylan goes through a dramatic conversion to militant atheism and does 2 or 3 albums of really dour and fanatical atheist anthems...like...

I Don't Believe In You
Property of Man
Foot of Pride Revisited
Precious Fallen Angel
You Don't Gotta Serve Nobody
Knockin' on No One's Door
Death IS the End!

And so on...

I think the reason there aren't too many atheist songs is because it's so damn boring (not to mention depressing) to go on and on about why something doesn't exist. Most people just can't be bothered writing a song about it.
