Despite atheism existing for thousands of years and predating [[Christianity]], there is a small proportion of music compared to religious music. For example, [[Wikipedia]], which was founded by an atheist and agnostic, has no article on "Atheist music", but Wikipedia does have an article on [[Christian music]]. The comedian Steve Martin wrote a satirical song entitled "“Atheists Don't Have No Songs”.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wogta8alHiU Steve Martin - Atheists Don't Have No Songs (Live on Letterman 03-16-2011)]</ref> There are no atheist radio stations dedicated to playing atheist songs. In addition, although there are full-time Christian musicians who support themselves by playing for churches (or other Christian audiences) and through the sales of their music, there are no full-time atheist musicians who devote themselves to playing atheist music.

During the [[Christmas]] season many businesses play Christmas music and there is a large collection of Christmas songs. Businesses in the [[Western World]] rarely have atheist music playing in their establishments and when it does occur it is purely unplanned (for example, a radio station playing [[John Lennon]]'s song Imagine).
