Just like the title says. Post bands, artists, lyricists, etc, who are atheists and/or sing about religion/atheism. Anything is allowed, as long as it is connected to atheism in some way. Right now I'm listening to "Judge Me" and "Cubed" by Greydon Square, a rapper who was a soldier in the Iraq war, and raps about theological issues. Wikipedia ArticleYou know, I never hated rap. It was one of the genres I listened to when I was younger. I just hated the so called "artists" ******** it up. Finally, there's a rapper who isn't rapping about gangs, hoes, and the same old s**t.
List of Atheist Artists/Music Influenced by AtheismCellador Bad Religion (ex. "Atheist Peace," "American Jesus") Tool (ex. "Tool") Fear Factory Job for a Cowboy Arch Enemy The Dead Kennedys

The metal band Cellador (Whom I highly recommend) have a lot of songs that deal with freedom, individuality and general disbelief in theology. For starters, listen to the song "Forever Unbound".
I've also heard that the band Fear Factory have quite a few songs that are anti-religious. Job For a Cowboy also seem to have that theme going on with their music.
Bad Religion is also a given, even though they're more about politics than religion.
If I find any others I'll put them up.

Opiate by the band Tool.
Listen through it all and you'll realise why it's atheist music...
Doesn't sound like it right away though, so it's not to well known to atheists......

Arios V The metal band Cellador (Whom I highly recommend) have a lot of songs that deal with freedom, individuality and general disbelief in theology. For starters, listen to the song "Forever Unbound". I've also heard that the band Fear Factory have quite a few songs that are anti-religious. Job For a Cowboy also seem to have that theme going on with their music. Bad Religion is also a given, even though they're more about politics than religion. If I find any others I'll put them up. Well I read something on the Wikipedia article for Bad Religion, including a quote from Greg Graffin himself. Greg Graffin Faith in your partner, your fellow men, your friends, is very important, because without it there's no mutual component to your relationship, and relationships are important. So faith plays an important role, but faith in people you don't know, faith in religious or political leaders or even people on stages, people who are popular in the public eye, you shouldn't have faith in those people. You should listen to what they have to say and use it. Wikipedia.org Despite the name of the band, the members do not consider themselves antitheist. Singer Greg Graffin states that more often than not, the band prefers to use religion as a metaphor for anything that doesn't allow for an individual's freedom to think or express themselves as they choose. In this way, their songs are more about anti-conformity than anti-religion.[22] However, Greg Graffin himself is an atheist, and co-author of the book 'Is Belief in God Good, Bad or Irrelevant?' That quote is just awesome. Quite honestly, Bad Religion is one of my favorite band, I just love their lyrics.

I listen to a lot of black metal. Most of it is blatently anti-religous/blasphemous so they can keep with their whole 'yaaaay satan! biggrin ' image.
I listen to some of the ones you listed.

The Dead Kennedys
While they aren't completely anti-religious they do have quite a few songs that stab at religion (particularly the Religious Right in America, although it's circa 1980's).
Since the break up of the Dead Kennedys, the singer Jello Biafra has gone on to do a solo, spoken word career and he does have quite a few points to say about the religious right.

I listened to some songs from Greydon Square and he sounded pretty good. I don't really like rap, but he's one of the very few rappers I can listen to. Mostly because I like his attitude, personality, and that fact that he doesn't act or talk gangster.

The aptly named Divine Heresy. Even though according to the metal archives page that the themes are hate and society, I've noticed that a few of their songs have to deal with anti-religion.

"Religious Cancer" by Nailbomb pretty much speaks for itself on what it is about. The rest of their songs are mostly political in nature

Mostly because I like his attitude, personality, and that fact that he doesn't act or talk gangster. Agreed. There are relatively few rappers that I enjoy, mostly because I don't like their usual subject matter, as I normally do like the music behind it. This guy raps intelligently and I like that.
