Cool Atheist Music 8 - Bad Religion - God Song

Firstly, apologies for the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. Turns out this PhD thing takes up a lot of your time! We now return you to your normal blogging service, with a slightly delayed cool atheist music.



This week's cool atheist music is again from Bad Religion - it's a great acoustic version of one of their classics. If you want to hear the original, complete with raging guitar, it's here.

Cool Atheist Music 6 - Nine Inch Nails - Heresy

This week's cool atheist music comes from Nine Inch Nails, and was suggested by esaul17. It should suit those who like their atheism angry, with a shouty chorus.

Cool Atheist Music 5 - Bad Religion - God's Love

This week's cool atheist music comes from Bad Religion. I was going to pick their track "Materialist" off the Process of Belief, which is more of a positive view of naturalism and atheism, but it appears that it hasn't been uploaded to the interwebs yet. So here's "God's Love" off the Empire Strikes First, on the problem of evil.

Incidentally, there were about 20 or 30 Bad Religion songs I could have picked - if you like punk rock and atheism, you really should check them out. And their lead singer (Greg Graffin) has a PhD in evolutionary biology. Amazing.

Cool Atheist Music 4 - Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Shallow Be Thy Game

This week's slightly delayed (blame my Master's viva) cool atheist music comes from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, off their album One Hot Minute. Enjoy.

Cool Atheist Music 3 - MC Hawking - What We Need More Of Is Science

This week's cool atheist music comes from MC Hawking. That's right, the Hawkman is kickin' it old skool about the importance of SCIENCE. Word.

And it's a sweet video too.

Cool Atheist Music 2 - Voltaire - God Thinks

This week's cool atheist music comes from Voltaire. No, not the French Enlightenment philosopher, the Cuban acoustic guitar wielding goth scenester. It's pointing out one of the most dangerous things about religion - that you can add 'God says' (or indeed, 'God thinks'), to any statement, and in doing so justify any atrocity you fancy. The video is some random anime, but the sound quality is much better on it than any of the live performances I could find.

Cool Atheist Music 1 - XTC - Dear God

Okay, here's the first in a (hopefully) regular series of cool music with an atheist view point. This a great track from XTC, and there's a Sarah Mclachlan cover floating round somewhere which gives it a different twist, if you can find it.
