"Last year at the New Orleans Jazz Fest Steve Martin sang a song that he called, 'the entire atheist hymnal' on one piece of paper. He called it, "Atheists Don't Have no Songs."
"Christians have their hymns and 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'd no good news. They'll never sing a song of faith.
In their songs they have one rule: the "he" is always lowercase.
Some folks sing a Bach cantata,
Lutherans get Christmas trees,
Atheist songs add up to nada,
But they do have Sundays free.
