Atheist Don’t Have No Songs

On Friday I feature a website or a blog that for me has the potential to become a favorite. It maybe a resource, a source of inspiration, or just some distraction I frequent. Give the Friday Favorite a look, read, or listen, and please feel free to comment about mine and share a favorite or two of your own in the comment section. Who knows maybe we will feature one of yours as a future Friday Favorite.

~Atheist Don’t Have No Songs~

Big thanks Way Kidd for sharing this clever take which poses an interesting fact about there being no atheist’s songs; the lyrics are listed below.

Christians have their hymns in pages.
Hava Nagila’s for the Jews.
Baptists have the Rock of Ages.
Atheists just sing the Blues.

Romantics play Claire de Lune.
Born-agains sing He is Risen.
But no one ever wrote a tune
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 lower case.

Some folks sing a Bach cantata.
Lutherans get Christmas trees.
Atheist songs add up to nada.
But they do have Sundays free.

Pentecostals sing, sing to heaven.
Coptics have the book of scrolls.
Numerologists count to seven.
Atheists have rock and roll.

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 lower case.
Atheists don’t have no songs.

Christians have their hymns in pages.
Hava Nagila’s for the Jews.
Baptists have the Rock of Ages.
Atheists just sing the Blues.

Catholics dress up for mass
and listen to Gregorian chants.
Atheists just take a pass,
watch football in their underpants.

Atheists don’t have no songs.
