In honor of the "War on Christmas": Humanist Carols

From The Humanist Hymnal:

THERE IS NO HELL
(To the tune of 'The First Noel')

There is No Hell, No Judgment Day;
No matter what some Fundamentalists say.
No Firey Pit, No Suffering, No Blame,
No one to Condemn and Consign you to Flame.

No Hell, No Hell, No Hell, No Hell.
Sing and be Joyful, there is No Hell.

<snip>

I HEARD THE BELLS OF FREETHOUGHT RING
(I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day)

I heard the bells of freethought ring,
Of reason and of doubt they sing;
Reminding us with every chime,
"Believing" stops a thinking mind.

1. It came upon a midnight clear, a thought so incredibly bold

I realized I'd been taken in by all that I had been told.
I looked at all the religious strife, the conflicts in every land;
And suddenly, it was clear to me that God was made by Man.
-----
Harken to the songs we sing.
Joy and hope and love we bring.
Peace on earth to every child.
Man and Nature reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations rise.
Join the triumph over lies.
All together, now proclaim:
We are one, and all the same.
Harken to the songs we sing.
Joy and hope and love we bring.

Very good, thank you.
