Top of the freethinking atheist pops. Nominations (3): Nine Inch Nails, Jenny Lewis and The Shamen.

Nomination Six
Nine Inch Nails -Heresy

Definitely not on the moderate wing of the atheist pops party, but by popular demand thanks unity) -
here's some lyrics and a youtube clip of the song:

He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
Hes got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed up a God and called it christianity
Your God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I will see you there
He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name
Your God is dead and no one cares
Drowning in his own hypocrisy
And if there is a hell I will see you there
Burning with your God in humility
Will you die for this?

Nomination Seven
Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins - Born secular

 

About time we had something approaching alternative country in this list so here's Jenny Lewis doing it with a secular twang. Live performance of the song right here:

Nomination Eight
The Shamen - Jesus loves Amerika
Psychedelic garage boys who went to love their dance music in their inbetween stage reacting badly against the US religious right. Take it away lads:
