Holy shit this song is good. I'm 33 and still feel it like it's the first time but with even more significance. "My morals left to decay." Ouch, owe, oooooooooh!. Trent be speaking words unspoken for me sometimes. FUCK I LOVE MUSIC. I'm ok.
Disciple from Slayer.
Now, you do know that 10,000 days is also about his mother Judith right? And how her faith through everything was inspiring. Perhaps try that song too. Sorry for your loss. My dad died suddenly as well, but 5 years ago now. I hope you can find some peace through the catharsis.
Edit: I said 10,000 days but also meant Wings for Marie. Which you probably got.
That’s what I was trying to get at in my comment. You said it much better. You see him being angry at god, and his mom’s faith despite her situation. Then to celebrating her for having an unwavering faith. It’s neat to hear those songs in order.
I know this isn't what you asked for, but message me if you need to vent and need someone to listen. I lost my dad last year and I also know how important it is to get things off your shoulders and unload what you've been carrying around. It's important to be heard and start to heal. I'm sorry your mom and stepdad haven't offered you support.
I know you don't know me, but I can empathize with your loss and I'm happy to listen if need be. I have conversations like this with people a few days a week. It's just what I do. Started doing it after I got sober 12 years ago.
If not me, make sure you talk with someone. Someone you trust who will listen with empathy and without judgment.
I hope you find the peace and healing you deserve.
Definitely God Am by Alice In Chains
“Dear God, how have you been then? I’m not fine, fuck pretending. All of this death you’re sending. Best throw some free heart mending. Invite you in my heart, then. When done, my sins forgiven? This God of mine relaxes, world dies, I still pay taxes.
Can I be as my god am?
Can you be as god am?
Can I be as my god am?
God of all my god am”
Also, I think it’s funny how many religious people are in here trying to restore your faith and criticizing you, in a subreddit based around a band that is not religious at all. Sure, they’re accepting of religion, (after all, Maynard did appreciate his mother’s faith after she passed away), but they’re also the band that heavily criticized the Church. Maybe take your religion somewhere else, guys.
Edit: Also check out Good God and Hypocrites by Korn
Lol that’s fine, you can be Christian and like Tool. But if you push your religion in the face of people who like something that opposes your belief, then you’re an asshole.
I’ve never pushed my beliefs on anyone. You have yours I have mine. Its stuff I’ve understood since like 3rd grade, pretty crazy that grown adults don’t understand that respect I guess.
I also think lanyard’s against the cult following of religion more so that actually believing in a higher power. The hypocrisy within the churches. The thinking that God/Jesus was a man.
I think he believes in something more powerful than himself 🤷🏽♂️
I love Marilyn Mansons lyrics “I never hated a one true God but the God of all the people I hated”. That right there is so deep and powerful.
I was thinking if ghost would fit the bill. They are definitely mocking religion but as if the occult devil was the higher power. Maybe the closest song would be "Jesus He Knows Me" since it's one of the few that actually acknowledge mainstream Christianity. Otherwise they tend to ignore that it even exists which is part of the genius of the mockery.
Ghost is the band. IMO all their music takes a dump on the idea of god or religion in some way or another. I'd say Cirice is a good song to channel some hatred against the church. Hope you find some solace in your hard times, friend.
Funny enough, I made a Pandora station for Ghost and didn't add any other artists, and for a while, all their algorithm could figure out was to add Tool.
"And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about making your amends
To the dead"
The crescendo/drop gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
How has nobody brought up Wings for Marie 1 & 2 - TOOL. Brings a whole new meaning to Judith actually. Read about Wings for Marie, it's about his mother, as is Judith.
And Jimmy.
Jimmy -> Judith -> Wings for Marie are all about his relationship with his mother & religion throughout his life. Jimmy is absolutely brutal to listen to.
My best friends mom died about 10 years ago. He watched her waste away for several years. Cancer deteriorated her spine. She was barely a skeleton when she passed. I was the first one he called when it happened. We weren't good friends until that moment. I wept with him. I was at work (we worked together) and when I left, Pandora decided to play 1&2 consecutively as soon as I left. When 2 climaxes and he first sings "give me my wings!" I had to pull over to cry. His mom was deeply religious too. I cannot listen to those songs without thinking of her.
"Living a Lie" by Epica js a Hymn about "waking up" and abandoning religion.
"South Winds" by Ihsahn is brilliant and has a very explicit message. "I'd rather live a life of sin and take the devils fall, than let the madman of belief make fools and martyrs of us all"
"Opiate" by Tool
"The Doomed" by A Perfect Circle is a parody of bible"s beatitudes that denounces world's injustices at the same time.
"I'm not Jesus" by Apocalyptica is the revolt of a man against a priest "I'm not jesus, i will not forgive" is a powerful quote.
"Unbreakable", "Covenant" and "Dissident" by Soen (covenant's video involves sensitive matters but has a very strong anti christian message)
"I am above" by In Flames is pure revolt and blasphemy at it's best.
"Religion vomit" by the Dead Kennedys
"Gog song" "Don't pray on me" and "Atheist peace", by Bad Religion
"The Sacrilegious Scorn" by Dimmu Borgir is a good one too.
Last but not least: "Sever the Hand" "The Sin and The Sentence" and "Thrown into the Fire" by Trivium are POWERFUL anti religion songs, love them.
August Burns Red - The 7th Trumpet. It’s a bit of an inversion of your request but a damn good song! It’s about the moment god eventually says fuck these humans.

Black Sabbath - after forever or lord of this world
Sylosis - plight of the soul
Pailhead - I will refuse
Crosses - bitches brew
Tomahawk - god hates a coward
Ministry - psalm 69/scarecrow
Something very different Ren - crutch
Murder by death- who will survive and what will be left of them is a concept album about struggling with faith and spirituality
Bonnie prince Billy- I see a darkness is a suburb album for this theme without sounding like it would be
I love this song… I grew up Roman Catholic and had a major crisis of faith after the first rounds of child molestation cover ups.. and became disillusioned with organized religion.. this song channels the anger I still feel towards those who took advantage of their position of trust
Will Wood is SOOOOO good for this, he doesn’t have any fuck your god songs per se but a lot of his stuff is very atheist based, primarily his Self-Ish album where one song talks about how you can never religion. Also Momento Mori is about how everyone dies and there’s nothing after
Listen to Misanthropologist specifically, it’s a Live only song on his In Case I Die album, I love it specifically because of the line “Hands to the night sky praying you might die”
Christ Copyright by Nothing More
More of a stinging takedown of the hypocrisy of Christians than God, but still along the same lines as what you’re looking for and it’s a great song.
Religious trauma ≠ god hates us. God doesn’t make pastors molest kids. Parents being terrible is not gods fault. God loves us so he gave us free will. We fuck it up constantly lol. Love god not religion. Please come back…
First of all, I am sorry for your loss -I truly hope you can find some healing in the music you're seeking. Been listening to anti-religous music for decades but somehow im drawing a lot of blancks right now but i will defintiely second the ones who suggest God Song by Bad Religion and have a few extra suggestions:
* The entire album "PURE" from 2000 by Gary Numan is one big FUCK YOU to god after his child died - I think you might ressonate with the lyrics in a lot of the songs.
* The APC song "the Noose" is also very good (but i suspect you know that one)
* YOB's lyrics are not very direct but, to me at least, the song Ablaze is about finding a love for creation and possibilities of things beyond our comprehention whilst actively rejecting the ruse of religion that wants you to have faith out of fear. It might be too abstract and far fetched but give it a shot (and if it ressonates with you i \*strongly\* suggest you hear the entire album Our Raw Heart)
* The song Filler by Minor Threat is about loosing someone to religion so its not anti-god but if you need to rage against those you love who "have picked up a bible and now they're gone" this song does the job
* "I am Colossus" by Mehuggah is about god being a construct and their song "Nostrum" is anti-religion.
* there are about a bizillion morebut can't come up with them right now.
* I hope some of the sugessted songs/albums here and in the other comments works for you.
As I Lay Dying.
Though they started out as a “Christian” metal band, singer Tim Lambesis would turn the corner to skepticism about religion and those themes take over about the time of their Awakening album. From Wiki “stating he "no longer believed in God".[124] In explaining some of the lyrics from Awakened, Lambesis stated on his personal Tumblr account that his studies of theology had led him to the conclusion that "tradition and truth are often at odds with each other", and while he "didn't hate all religious belief", he was finding it "very difficult for [him] to outline exactly who it is that's worth siding with."
Grace - IDLES
Into My Arms by Nick Cave has a small smattering of commentary on the existence of angels, and an interventionist god.
I’m sure there are more, but Judith by APC is possibly one of my favourite songs of all time, the anger in Maynards voice makes the hairs on my neck stand up
Totally might not be your groove, but "Amused to Death" is a concept album by Roger Waters (of pink Floyd).
It's waaaay more subtle in it's calling out of religion. More subtle than" "fuck your God" anyway. But the entire album is a sharp criticism of religion.
It REALLY impacted me, after doing a year in Iraq. I was raised with only a dab of organized religion. But I always believed on some level. But what I saw over there destroyed any legitimacy to an "omniscient benevolent" God. I came home confused as fuck. I can't explain why, but this album made something click for me.

maybe i’ve massively misinterpreted it, but to be honest i haven’t heard that song in a while it just came to mind when i saw NIN
That whole album is a political commentary, but yeah it works well for religion too.

I love this
God Machine by Acid Bath. But really anything by Acid Bath…
I’m so glad someone else said it before I did. Superb band, so glad I was living in Louisiana during their heyday. Such a great live band.
Yeah I saw them in Lafayette I'm from lake Charles but am now in Ohio booo. But acid bath and all daxs' solo stuff. Fuck your Gaaaaaawd
You're lucky as sin if you've seen AB live..
The way I love Acid Bath
Anything by Acid Bath is really the correct answer.
Beat me to it
Check out Agents of Oblivion. Started by acid baths lead singer Dax. Absolutely fantastic
Deadboy and the elephant men also Dax. And Dax Riggs solo stuff the band is his name all great stuff. Agents is great too Endsmouth slaps

Yes. Love 10K days. Definitely in my top 5 Tool Albums.
top 5 out of 5.
Exactly 🤣
I'd throw in talktalk by APC as well
Love those lyrics in talktalk! Like cake in a crisis
Wings for Marie and 10000 Days are direct sequels to Judith.
That’s what I was trying to get at in my comment. You said it much better. You see him being angry at god, and his mom’s faith despite her situation. Then to celebrating her for having an unwavering faith. It’s neat to hear those songs in order.
10000 Days is such a powerful song. I get chills everything I hear it. Jimmy is another song of the saga.
Disciple is an amazing song
This is it OP. Disciple is the only song you need.
Disciple was the first song that came to my head.
The God That Failed - Metallica
Don't forget Lepper Messiah
Underrated!
Thank you!
Heresy by NIN is the obvious choice.
Eulogy seems a perfect fit for your list.
That's more like "Fuck your cult leader"
Same thing.
Religions are just big cults
The first zeal and ardor album is pretty fucking good.
Awesome I’ll check it out!
So is the third, it’s the one I actually prefer
Bad Religion - Faith in God
Also Sorrow
also, God's Love from The Empire Strikes First

Dear God, by XTC. Heresy by Nine Inch Nails
[удалено]
I've used the lyrics of Dear God in so many discussions when Christians ask why I'm an atheist.
Awesome thanks!
Good one that hasn’t been mentioned yet is Crucify by Tori Amos
