The Animal Atheists

There's no such thing as a Hindu horse, nor a Catholic cat There's no such thing as a Protestant parrot, you can always be sure of that There's no such thing as a Rasta rabbit, nor a Mormon mouse There's no such thing as a sheep thats a Sikh, on that you can bet your house These creatures have no religion at all, no sectarian divide Their only ''rules'' are created by nature; and nature will provide If only the ''clever'' human race had no superstitions There'd be no more wars at all, no more senseless missions For religion is based on superstition, filled with legend and myth Telling you how to live your life and whom you should walk with Back to that nesting bird in the tree, or even that wild boar Have you ever heard of an animal that created a world war ?
