Christmas is fast approaching and I bet many of you are tired of hearing the same old christian Christmas songs that get overplayed every year. So I decided that I’d round up some of my favorite atheist Christmas songs for us to enjoy. I’ll rank them in order of my favorite to least favorite, even tho this is all premium.
1. Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas
I remember the first time I heard this was at a pool hall a week before Christmas. I remember thinking the lyrics didn’t seem to christian-like. I quickly texted myself some of the lyrics and when I got home, tracked it down. Sure enough, it was an atheist Christmas song. It’s been my favorite ever since.
2. Tim Minchin - White Wine In The Sun (Christmas Song)
I found this song a few days ago. It’s quite humorous but the guys got a good voice. He’s an Australian comedian, singer, actor and writer. This song makes it into second place because I think it might be how a lot of people see Christmas now. There’s about a 30 second intro, so be patient.
3. Vienna Teng - The Atheist Christmas Carol
This song is beautifully sung. This girl has an amazing voice and her lyrics are quite deep. Despite being called “The Atheist Christmas Carol,” the lyrics could be interpreted as religious. However, upon looking at them, I believe they are spiritual, but not necessarily religious. I feel as if she is sing about the love and support of one another. In any case, it’s a great song so enjoy.

I am not an atheist but instead am monotheistic, believing in the one true God. Did you ask me? No, you didn’t. So let me ask you: Why is this blog second only to the Religion news blog in terms of page hits? Come visit my blog and tell me. I promise that you will not be ridiculed or insulted. I’m hopeful that this comment makes it through the moderator since I’m sure he’s confident that mt beliefs pose no threat to him.
