    I can't post youtube clips... but somebody find the clip of Steve Marting doing, "Atheists Don't Have No Songs". Even as an atheist, you can't help but laugh...

    Here are the lyrics...

    [spoken] You know, religious people have such beautiful music and art;
    and athiests really have nothing.....

    Until now!

    A little tune called "Athiests Don't Have No Songs"

    [Lyrics]

    (Christians have)
    Christians have their hymns and pages.

    Atheists just sing the blues.

    (Romantics play)
    Romantics play Claire de Lune.
    (Claire de Lune)
    Born agains sing He is risen.
    But no one ever wrote a tune.
    (Wrote a tune)
    For godless existentialism.
    (For godless existentialism)

    For Atheists,
    there's no good news.
    They'll never sing,
    a song of faith.

    In their songs,
    they have a rule.
    The "he" is always lowercase.
    The "he" is always lowercase.

    (Some folks sing)
    Some folks sing a Bach cantata.
    (Bach cantata)
    Lutherans get Christmas trees.
    Atheist songs add up to nada.

    But they do have Sundays free.

    (Pentecostals sing)
    Pentecostals sing, sing to heaven,
    (sing to heaven)
    Gothics had the books of scrolls,
    (Numerologists count)
    Numerologists count, count to seven,
    (count to seven)
    Atheists have rock and roll.

    For Atheists,
    there's no good news.
    They'll never sing,
    a song of faith.

    Ha ha! Yeah I guess they do . But I'll bet there have been countless 'godless' men and women who've worked on and enjoyed religious architecture too but until the last century or so they'll have been just too afraid to admit it .

    Guess we're all in this together!

    Yes, we do have beautiful music. This music sends me to another time and dimension. For me very spiritual, but for others just timeless and gorgeous.

    I love Gregorian Chant. This group loves it so much they call themselves Gregorian and they cover some rock music in Gregorian style.

    do you like gregorian, nic. That last link has covers of some beautiful rock songs. I am listening to it and I'm at the part with Ordinary World by Duran Duran.

    My Sweet Lord is beautiful. I saw George in concert and he played with Ravi Shakar and orchestra and Billy Preston. It was beautiful, the Indian music about Krishna and of course all the George songs like My Sweet Lord.
