Thread Name: Can a believer sing Atheist songs?
Subject: RE: BS - Can a believer sing Atheist songs?
Yeah, but that's the thing, Jeri - Atheist "religion" is not to have a religion, so it's kind of a contradiction of terms to have songs about something that isn't. However, atheists have ethics and emotions, and humanistic interests - but none of those things are exclusively atheist. Songs that are critical about religion aren't atheist, because they aren't about atheism. So, I think we end up with the fact that there just aren't atheist songs. Atheists sings lots of songs about lots of stuff, but not about atheism.
