What are your favorite songs that have a message about atheism?

I think the first song I remember hearing that had a clearly atheistic message was Freewill, by Rush.

I found this one more recently: Shine a Little Light, by The Black Keys. I like The Black Keys, but hadn't heard this album before. The lyrics are describing a person struggling with their faith. I like the part in the second verse about not being recognized by your old community.

Would you say The Trees, also by Rush, is more about politics or religion? I take the line about “hammer, axe, and saw” to be about anything that divides people. Though it might not actually be about religion. I don’t know. I do like that song by them though.
