Atheist Music
usic
affects us in many ways, with the rhythmic drone of chanting, beating drums,
and ringing bells; to wailing electric lead and thumping bass guitars that
evoke dancing; to complex of choral and orchestral masterpieces!
Certainly it's tied to our tendency to escape the mundane and to be altered
emotionally and psychologically.
usic
is timeless and universal. It's been found in all cultures across
recorded history, suggesting that humans have an evolved genetic
predisposition to make music. And, like the human predispositions
for sex and story-telling, religions also exploit music. For centuries...
there was (at least officially) no secular music!
ow,
musical atheists and atheist music exists all around us and we find them
in all genre of music! Here are a sample of artists
and songs
for all the irreligious, ungodly, heathen, infidel, heretical, skeptic,
even pagan, deist or pantheist freethinker who lives in all of us.
