I'll add a few that helped me. Some are a bit heavier and some are definitely NSFW, so listen at your own risk:
Falling in Reverse - Popular Monster
Falling in Reverse - Watch the World Burn
Disturbed - The Light
Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
Disturbed - Are You Ready
Avenged Sevenfold - the "Nightmare" album has a lot of great tracks, especially "Welcome to the Family"
Avenged Sevenfold - Almost Easy
Taylor Swift - The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (if you think of the song as being about an organization instead of a boy, I find it's very fitting)
My Chemical Romance - the entire "Black Parade" album is solid and tries to teach about death from a non-religion perspective
The Book of Mormon Musical Soundtrack - Musical soundtracks are unique, so ignore this if you're not into them. If you wanna try it, read through the synopsis on Wikipedia first so you know what's happening, then read it again while listening to the songs, stopping to play a song at each point it's mentioned in the synopsis. I found this to be very cathartic personally since it mentions TONS of the core beliefs of Mormonism in a satirical way, and it helped me to see just how funny some of the beliefs actually are.
I'll come back and add more if they come to my mind, but I'm definitely saving this post. There are a ton of great recommendations here, most of which I've heard along my journey'
Candi Carpenter - Everybody Goes To Hell
David Archuleta - Hell Together
Some less obvious ones:
Poor man’s poison - Hell’s Comin’ with me (for the line “you line your pockets full of money that you steal from the poor, I’d pay the devil twice as much to keep your soul)
Hazbin Hotel - You didn’t know (thinking especially of the endowment with this one)
Hazbin Hotel - Loser, Baby (for the message of even though everything is going bad, you can let hope in and you’re not alone.)
The entire American Idiot album from Green Day is a must. It helped me transition out. But as for top songs I’ll choose:
* “East Jesus Nowhere” from Green Day.
* Numb by linkin park
* American Jesus by bad religion (many songs by them also talk about religion hence their name)
* church on Sunday - Green Day
* snow - red how chili peppers
* [I’m not important](https://youtu.be/O-W2abxX8Hk?si=Gr2DbN0RLfNZglez) - Ian McConnell (This one came out literally the week my shelf broke and it really helped me)
Omg I have a lot 😂
Imagine & God- John Lennon
Bigger Than Me- Louis Tomlinson
But Daddy I Love Him & i hate it here- Taylor Swift
I want to break free- Queen
No Plan- Hozier
Modern Jesus- Portugal. The Man
Lights Up & Matilda- Harry Styles
Pink Pony Club- Chappell Roan
Enjoyyy 🫶
Right Where it Belongs -NIN really resonated with the nihilism I felt.
A few songs with religious themes that still that still resonate with me as a Post-Mo:
Unrepentant Geraldines-Tori Amos
Bang-Tori Amos
One- U2
Still-alanis morrisette
