Via Friendly Atheist

It’s not quite auto-tune, but it’s a list of what non-theists believe, told from the mouths (sort of) of prominent atheist writers and YouTubers.

The song is “Future” by Colony 5:

"This is what we believe" is based on the song Future by Colony 5, and it's a response to all those who think that we who don't follow any religious faith don't believe in anything. The video is also a tribute to all women and men who advocate a secular worldview, free from religious dogma and other supernatural beliefs, and a celebration of science and reason.

Music and lyrics by Colony 5 - Future:

Tragedies and suffering
I hear them scream
screaming for help
The prophets preach
the end of the world
only fools believe their words

We want to love
we want to breathe
we want to be
Rebuild the world
with the knowledge
we retrieve

We want to feel
we want to live
we want to see
seek the wisdom
from the future
and believe

No truth without evidence
it's easy to lie
who can seek the answers
who can see through the sky
Such a great temptation
who can carry such a quest
and gain that information
we don't need no god

We don't need no god no more
We don't need a tyrant

We want to love
we want to breathe
we want to be
Rebuild the world
with the knowledge
we retrieve

We want to feel
we want to live
we want to see
seek the wisdom
from the future
and believe

There are so many wonderful things atheists do believe in that it’s really amazing how many people have to ask what they are.

At least it’s a question that’s easy to answer.
