I think that people arrive at atheism and agnosticism from various directions but I don't think its something that people are commonly indoctrinated with. That being the case, there are few hymns or anthems that need to be repeated, to reinforce the message.

However, this might be what you're asking for https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VpxikuHHG2Q&pp=ygUXYmFkIHJlbGlnaW9uIHRoZSBhbnN3ZXI%3D

Bad Religion, "the answer."

The lyrics, "if you've got enough naievity and you've got conviction, then the answer is perfect for you," always seemed to resonate with me. I interpret them to refer to people who are born into a difficult to comprehend universe, full of far more questions than answers, who latch on to the comforting fairy tales offered by religion with great enthusiasm. I think the song is about how nobody really can comprehend the great questions of life and purpose, but people try to, and sometimes their ideas become religions. I think the song is about people who don't think for themselves, but who latch onto what they're told. Its a warning not to be comforted by explanations and opinions of others. Consensus is not truth.
