- Armageddon Days Are Here (again), by The The:
-
- (Chorus):
- Islam is rising.
- The Christians mobilizing.
- The world is on its elbows and knees.
- It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds.
- ...
- If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today,
- He'd be gunned down cold by the CIA.
- Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass,
- Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart.
- But God didn't build himself that throne.
- God doesn't live in Israel or Rome.
- God doesn't belong to the 'Yankee Dollar.'
- God doesn't plant the bombs of Hezbollah.
- God doesn't even go to church.
- And God won't send us down to Allah to burn.
- No, God will remind us what we already know,
- That the human race is about to reap what its' sown.

- Not quite atheistic, but anti-many things
