This idea got me thinking about creating a playlist for the atheist/ agnostic to play on a Sunday morning when the rest of the world is at church. After some thought, here is what I have so far:

Lord I Have Made You a Place in my Heart – Greg Brown or Cry Cry Cry

Flyentology – El-P (Trent Reznor lyrics)

Jesus and Elvis – Greg Brown

Personal Jesus – Depeche Mode or Johnny Cash

Both Sides Now – Joni Mitchell

I Was Stabbed By Satan – K’Naan

Leper Messiah – Metallica

Losing my Religion – R.E.M.

Dear God – Sarah McLachlan


Suggestions? Thoughts?
Metallica has got a bunch, I always liked 'The God That Failed'.
More from Reznor/NIN too, 'Heresy' is about as classic as it gets.
Probably dozens from Manson, always liked 'The Reflecting God'
Tool has a bunch, 'Eulogy'
And Maynards other band A Perfect Circle has some, check out 'Right in Two'

I probably know at least 100, and some from lighter sources too. These are off the top of my head.
