He felt organized religion did more harm than good. In "Imagine," he sang about a better world where there was "no religion." In his song "God" he sang "God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain" He was not a Christian. He would not dare to label himself such a disgusting name. fuck you people.

John Lennon was wrong that the beatles were bigger than jesus nobody will ever be he was completely wrong the beatles didnt create the world a new for us to survive Jesus did and his father our lord God created this world and loves us but is said when people say things like that i am a christian in a catholic school and i believe thet the holy spirit and the holy family forgive him for saying such a thing but he shouldnt have i am douing a history day project on him and he never should have said that christian or not believe in God he is always with you wether you believe in him or not but i believe and you should too

John Lennon - Grow Old With Me lyrics

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love

Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love

Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end

Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love

Boediger's obviously not a big Lennon fan. Lennon did in fact consider himself a Christian for a time at least. He became a regular viewer of a religious TV program (PTL or 700 club or something like that) and even corresponded with the host. He even wrote some unreleased songs that have very obvious religious messages in them. I've heard some of them. The only person connected to Lennon I know of that disputes this is Yoko.. and well, we all know how trustworthy she is.

Lennon said he wasn't sure whether rock and roll or Christianity would "go first." We do know conclusively, however, that Lennon managed to "go first." Do you listen to any popular singer from the 19th Century; can you even name one? In a century hence, no one will listen to Lennon, and his name will be no more more relevant to 22nd Century man than Rudy Valley or Al Johlson is to the present 21st Century man. Voltaire, possessed of a far superior mind than Lennon's, stated "In twenty years, Christianity will be no more." Within years of his death, the Geneva Bible Society was using his house to print Bibles. Perhaps, everyday since Lennon's death, atheists in hell make his aquaintance and add a truly novel meaning to the lyrics "Imagine there's...no hell below us."

you people who quote his songs imagine or god or the '66 interveiw obviously arent looking much into this subject as your quoting older things he said...he did as erm...anonymous said did consider himself a christian and was even seen going to church and watched christian television.
