Despite [[atheism]] being around since at least [[ancient Greece]], there has not been a strong tradition of creating musical and artistic works related to atheism. Musical/artistic talent can be enhanced through practice and the atheist creed of "there is no God" is not an inspiring creed that produces a significant amount of music/art. For example, despite [[Wikipedia]] being founded by an atheist and an agnostic, there are no articles specifically devoted to the topics of atheist music or atheist art at Wikipedia, but Wikipedia does have articles devoted specifically to [[Christian art]] and [[Christian music]].

Despite existing since [[ancient Greece]], relative to Christianity, which has a large collection of art, music and poetry associated it, atheism has a very small collection of art, music and poetry associated with it (see: [[Atheist art]] and [[Atheist music]] and [[Atheist poetry]]).

 

A common explanation for the relatively smart amount of atheist art/music/poetry is the uninspiring nature of atheism (see: [[Atheism is uninspiring]]).

Atheism is an unnecessarily limiting view and intellectually ungratifying/uninteresting (see: [[Uninterestingness of atheism]]).  Accordingly, it is not worldview which inspires great art/music.
