Thread Name: Godless 'hymns' or Atheism Church Music?
Subject: RE: BS: Godless 'hymns' or Atheism Church Music?
As a de facto Atheist theologian, I object to the use of the term, "believe" in reference to Atheists. An Atheist does not believe there is no god; an Atheist lives a life without a god.

a = without theist = following a god believe = to accept as true without credible evidence

I have found I can sing religious songs in such a way as to make them completely ridiculous. Imagine if you will a known Atheist singing, "They Whupped Him up the Hill Just for Me". One does not even have to change the words (although I have a version where I did just that).

I am not sure what the originator of this thread is seeking.
