What songs do you play at such a concert?
Prominent atheist Richard Dawkins is scheduled to appear at the event, along with musicians, speakers and other entertainment....Oh, don't you love his songs?
Okay, so I Googled "Top 10 Atheist Songs" — and some are really more properly characterized as anti-religion songs. #1 is what you'd come up with if you thought about it a bit...
Imagine there’s no countriesHere's a discussion of atheist songs. Somebody suggests The Internationale:
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too...
No saviour from on high delivers,I think a more inventive approach could be taken to finding the truly atheistic songs. Songs about the supremacy of the individual acting alone express a belief in the absence of God. For example, "The Greatest Love of All" (the greatest love is self-love). And I've long thought of this song as fundamentally atheistic.
No faith have we in prince or peer.
Our own right hand the chains must shiver,
Chains of hatred, greed and fear.
