Tired of ancient fiction

Tired of superstition

I fear no hell

Expect no heaven

 

Tired of irrational rituals

Tired of a lack of miracles

No evidence forthcoming

 

We are born non-believers

Then led astray

Ideas from our beginnings

Myths of the cave

Ideas we should have outgrown

Poison modern living

 

Time for joined-up thinking

The same rules applying to everything

Why the privileged protection?

Faith is not a virtue

Faith is not untouchable

Everything’s there to be questioned

 

Such groundless assertions

Shouldn’t go unchallenged

Belief is not above

Rational inquiry

Prayers for the victims

The definition of irony

 

Tired of ancient fiction

Tired of superstition

I fear no hell

Expect no heaven

 

Tired of irrational rituals

Tired of a lack of miracles

No evidence forthcoming
