Greg Graffin may not be the new John Lennon,but an Ivy League organization is giving the Bad Religion frontman his due for publicly imagining there's no heaven. Harvard's Humanist Chaplaincy has tabbed Graffin as the recipient of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism -- an honor he's exceedingly unlikely to thank God for should he be there to pick it up in person when it's handed out at a ceremony on April 25.

Graffin's being feted, you see, for his embrace of atheism (a lifestyle choice that might not help his band win a spot on that next U2 tour) and his work as an evolutionist (which should put the kibosh on any plan to play the on that next European tour). We'll offer our congratulations to Graffin, but we would like to ask the punky professor one question: If the road to hell doesn't exist, where do all those good intentions go?
