"Atheists Don't Have No Songs"

From the 2010 New Orleans Jazzfest.  Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers perform their acapella song  "Atheists Don't Have No Songs".   This is fun...



Here's the lyrics, as best I was able to decipher them...

Christians have their hymns and pages, (hymns and pages)
Havah Nagilah is for the Jews, (for the Jews)
Baptists have their rock of ages, (rock of ages)
Atheists just sing the blues.

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 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 a Bach cantata, (Bach cantata)
Lutherans get Christmas trees,
Atheist songs add up to nada, (up to nada)
But they do have Sundays Free.

Some folks sing  - they sing to heaven, (sing to heaven)
Coptics have the book of scrolls,
Numerologists count - they 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
In their songs they have a rule,
The “he” is always lowercase.

The “he” is always lowercase.

Atheists - Atheists - Atheists

Don't Have No Songs.

Christians have their hymns and pages,
Havah Nagilah is for the Jews,
Baptists have their 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.

Watch Football in Their Underpants

Atheists - Atheists - Atheists

Don't have no songs.

Don't Have No Songs.

Please Note:  I had to update this video since the original one posted here was taking down due to an ongoing copyright dispute.  Fortunately Thunderfoot, wasted no time in creating a new one.

In defense of South Park and the Genius behind it.  Namely its creators and writers Trey Parker and Matt Stone.  I'm posting this YouTube video by Thunderf00t  - it says it all and so much more.





The only thing that I would add is that ultimately No Religion Has a place in the Enlightened World.  Especially the Abrahamic Religions.  Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all based on the same book.  "The Book of Hear-Say" or as some people still call it "The Holy Bible". 

Now I'm well aware that there are many reformed, liberal and progressive versions of these three major world religions, but unfortunately, no matter how advanced the sect.  They all have at their core the teachings of the Old Testament.  And Anyone who still thinks in this day and age that the Bible is Holy.  Has either never really read it, or at the very least has sacrificed their ability to reason for purposes of belief.  Which come to think of it would probably make a good definition for the word Faith.
