1. Blasphemous is not the same as atheist.
To be honest, I don't know of any truly atheists songs. Even on an atheist message board I frequent, every time someone does a "what's your favorite atheist song" thread, all the answers are merely blasphemous and not truly atheist.

My personal favorite blasphemous song is "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails.

Hey god, why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what Im supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
Hey god, I think you owe me a great big apology

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Hey god, I really dont know what you mean.
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams.
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.
Hey god, can this world really be as sad as it seems

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Dont take it away from me.
I need someone to hold on to.
Dont take it away from me.
I need someone to hold on to

Hey god, theres nothing left for me to hide.
I lost my ignorance, security and pride.
Im all alone in a world you must despise.
Hey god, I believed that promises, your promises and lies

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

You made me throw it all away.
My morals left to decay.
How many you betray.
Youve taken everything
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

My head is filled with disease.
My skin is begging you please.
Im on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe.

Dont take it away from me.
I need someone to hold on to.
Dont take it away from me.
I need someone to hold on to

I give you everything.
My sweet everything
Hey god, I really dont know who I am.
In this world of piss

2. God Song - by Bad Religion
Edited on Sun Oct-22-06 08:22 PM by philosophie_en_rose
not much of a selection on youtube, but see - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK6-V7yKPDU

and did those feet in ancient times
trod on america's pastures of green?
and did that anthropocentric god
wane with their thoughts and beliefs all unseen?
i don't think so,
he's up there with the others laying low,
vying with those
who you've traded your life to
to bless your soul,

and have they told you how to think,
cleansed your mind of sepsis and automony?
or have you escaped scrutiny,
and regaled yourself with depravity?
now we all see,
religion's a synthetic frippery,
unnecessary
in our expanding global cultural efficiency

and don't you fear
this impasse we have built to our future?
ever so near,
and oh so austere
