The Craig Machine by Stephen Lynch, not explicitly atheist but sacreligious and funny.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

Fight song by Marylin Manson.

You can't get any more clear cut than having him scream "I'M NOT A SLAVE TO A GOD THAT DOESN'T EXIST."

Sorry for slight necromancy but Sympathy for the Devil can not count as an athiest song. An athiest song would deny god, not support his opposition.

True, they can be up to say, 50% athi, but not the athiest.

Note, though, that Deicide don't actually believe God exists, yet their name is dedicated to killing him, they say he's a bastard, that Satan is cool and other such silly stuff, but they're still atheists, which appears in some songs, but normally, it's more just antichristian.

"Enter the Voids" by Therion is an atheistic song that, frankly, everyone should have,

Of course, there is a band actually called Atheist, and most of their songs are atheistic.

Lost Wisdom by Burzum, this is an excellent black metal song. Actually, almost the whole black metal genre is antichristian or antireligion. Slayer has alot of atheistic songs too.

Interestingly, I once thought Science by System of a Down was making fun of religion. Looking at this snippet of the lyrics it looks like they are making fun of how ridiculous fundamentalism is:
SOAD wrote:Science fails to recognise the single most potent element of human existence
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding is faith, faith, faith, faith
Science has failed our world
Science has failed our mother earth
Spirit moves through all things (x6)
But now I think these guys may just be crazy enough to actually be serious about it. :roll:

95% of the music on that website is atheist, and most of it is really good, too. I especially recommend "The Internationale played on Church Bells", with the commentary: "This is the appropriate use of Church Bells."

I love that song. But it's more about the hypocrisy of the church and considering possible reincarnation than not believing there is a god, I think...

Hell Yeah by the Blood Hound Gang. Maybe not 100% atheistic, but it would certainly make religion more appealing.
