ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, this is a song that attacks religion or religious figures. There are various subtropes, though they often overlap:
"Hate the God": The GodIsEvil[=/=]RageAgainstTheHeavens song consists of attacks on a deity that ''is'' actually believed in (though not necessarily by the singer) and objected to. A subset of these are angry versions of HaveYouSeenMyGod, or demands that the deity explain what they think they're playing at, and/or whether they're really what they say they are. Parodies that are a TakeThat at a deity itself also land here. As do pretty much all musical examples of GodIsFlawed. "You don't exist!" as a TakeThat and "if there ''is'' a God or higher power, they are a bastard" themes also fall under this heading.
"Hate the Faithful": The AuthorFilibuster ReligionIsWrong[=/=]OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions rant song is about calling out religion as a pernicious influence, or based on false beliefs, or both. Like the first, this one need not imply atheism, though it often does, and is compatible with JesusWasWayCool type sentiments towards particular deities/religious figures, while attacking UsefulNotes/TheKnightsTemplar, the ChurchMilitant, the PathOfInspiration, what [[ValuesDissonance its singers perceive]] as a ReligionOfEvil, or similar things. This one may also come in calmer versions. Parodies that are a TakeThat at a religion as a whole or at its followers usually land here.
"Hate the Leaders": The Calling Out The Leaders rant song includes songs about losing faith in prophets/gurus/religious leaders and/or specific {{Take That}}s at a specific leader of a PathOfInspiration or perceived ConMan or ScamReligion or KnightTemplar or MoralGuardian, whether or not this also extends to losing faith in the relevant deity/deities or religion. Parodies that are a TakeThat at a leader or a specific subgroup within a religion (e.g. a GreedyTelevangelist or a group of MoralGuardians) are here, no matter how much followers of said religion might insist they are Type 1.
