    The only one that comes to mind is “Dear God,” by XTC. The singer is writing a letter to God about why he doesn’t believe in him.

    The concept of an atheist anthem seems odd to me though. It’s like asking for a national anthem for someone who doesn’t have a country.

      Thanks for reminding me about this, have not listened to it in years.

      Link for those who have not heard it. “Dear God,” by XTC

      Sadly the lyrics are a relevant as the day they were penned.

      And all the people that you made in your image, see them
      Fighting in the street
      'Cause they can’t make opinions meet
      About God

      Ooh, good one! I personally like the cover of Dear God by Lawless with Sydney Wayser. I agree that the idea of an atheist anthem is a little strange, though–like a song reveling in how many fairies there aren’t.
