What in the world is an "Atheist song of praise?"
edit:
I guess an "Atheist song" would be "American Jesus" by Bad Religion.

Atheist song of praise, wow. Maybe 'Metal Gods' by Judas Priest?

"Dear God", by XTC
Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image, see
them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get
enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
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,
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make
mankind after we made you? And the devil too!
, don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on
a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you
should take a look, and all the people that you made in your
image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and
so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in
I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no
devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always
letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you
drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the
whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,
and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon
my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in
it's you....

We Have Returned
(words & music by Amikaeyla Proudfoot Gaston)
As we walked through the forest
And danced to drums by firelight
We could feel our spirits soaring, sailing upward into the night.
As we sang all our chants to Orisha, Native spirit, Hindu, Buddah, Pagan Moon.
And as we threw stones and bones down onto Mother Earth we could hear this ancient tune.
We are the witches and we have been burned
We are your power source within that you must learn
We're intuition crying to be heard
We are the witches and we have returned
We are hearing your voice calling our name
Oh Yemaya, Oh Yemaya
In the water, in the air, in the creatures everywhere
We are the mystics and we have been burned
We are your power source within that you must learn
We're intuition crying to be heard
We are the mystics and we have returned.
Although chains tried to enslave us and the whips they cut our flesh, evil ones were forced upon us, but our spirits they could not crush.
Through gas chambers and slave ships, remnants of war we survived through our children and our chants.
And the bones that lie in the womb of Mother Earth hear us through our singing and our dance.
We are the soldiers and we have been burned
We are the power source within that you must learn
We're intuition crying to be heard
We are the soldiers and we have returned.
We are the Witches and we have been burned
We are those Mystics deep within that you must learn
We are the Soldiers crying to be heard
We are your Conscience and we have returned

My favorite song of praise is How Great Thou Art. I always marvel at the beauty of all things created by Him.

Atheist song of Praise? Really???
I'm guessing that was an error?!
Otherwise, maybe it would be,
the one with the volume turned lowest.

I have a couple humanist ones :D
This is one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tRXO9Q8LkY
And, there's this one, by XTC, which I can't find a video for anywhere, but the chorus goes like this:
"Welcome to the Garden of Earthly Delights.
Welcome to a billion Arabian nights.
This is your life and you do what you want to do,
This is your life and you spend it all.
This is your life and you do what you want to do,
Just don't hurt nobody,
And the big reward's here,
In the Garden of Earthly Delights."

Since atheists don't pray to anything, there is no "atheist song of praise." Also, there's no need to capitalize the word "atheist."
