Daily Poll: What Kinds of Music Do Atheists Like?

Thursday August 24, 2006
The only thing all atheists have in common is their disbelief in the existence of any gods. That doesn't mean, however, that there might not be some trends in what kinds of music atheists prefer to listen to. Not all kinds of music are listed here, but maybe the results will be interesting.

As an atheist and longtime professional musician…I’d suggest adding Jazz to the list.

Thanks for pointing out that omission. Unfortunately, I don’t have another slot in which I can put it. All I can do now is add it to one of the slots already used.

Which would be best? Big Band / Swing? That’s the best option I can think of…

Thanks for noticing my comment.
Yeah, I would suggest changing Big Band / Swing to Jazz. ‘Jazz’ would pretty much encompass all the variations; like Big Band, Swing, Traditional, Bebop, modern Jazz, etc.
I’m a regular reader of your site. Thanks for keeping ‘us’ informed about so many important issues concerning all the various aspects of freethinking! Reading your mailbag especially hightens my respect for your mental acuity and your, dare I say…bravery…what!…beyond the ‘call of duty’? It’s a crazy world out there…Duh!
Anyway, keep up the great job!

I’m sorry, but this is another of those “go nowhere questions” that have no chance of ever being settled unless THOUSANDS reply to make up a representative sampling.
And those thousands would have to come from all countries, regions, social classes, and age groups. This is little more than mental masturbation. You might well have asked what food Atheists prefer, or what car, or color, or what type of member of the opposite sex (or same sex, for that matter). TheArt@webtv.net
