Never one to shy away from controversy, Marilyn Manson's (Brian Warner) second album, 1996's 'Antichrist Superstar', got some religious types so worked up that marches were organised to protest against it. The concept album is full of anti-Christian content in tracks such as 'The Reflecting God' and hard-hitting lyrics; "When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you." Anti-religious throughout his career, Manson shocked further with 2000's 'Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death' which saw the rocker parody Jesus on the cross.

What about The Stranglers and their 1981 album Themeninblack which had the prefix of The Gospel According to... This album dealt with the concept that God is an extra terrestrial being and that therefore all religons are built on falsehood. The cover featured Da Vinci's The Last Supper as a gatefold sleeve and on it Judas Iscariot had been replaced by a Maninblack.

It seems like RUSH has promoted rational thought and a bent against supernaturalism. They've never said they don't believe, outright; but, they seem very intelligent and rational.

RUSH has said that they don't believe, both in interviews, and most recently and strongly on their album "Snakes and Arrows". Check out the song "Faithless", which, as it promises, is about not believing.
