Remember "Imagine"? Remember the Maharishi Yogi? John Lennon ditched Christianity and went for a halucinogenic head-trip with New Age pick-and-mix "spirituality". What a rubbish word! It's meaningless, but that's just what so many people today want (including, I suspect John Lennon) - your own version of whatever pleases you regarding beliefs and practices. No religion was his goal. He achieved it for himself. And much good did it do him.

He was born into a Catholic family but doesn't appear to have followed them in adult life. He spoke with the leader of the Hare Krsnas between 1966 and 1969 and spent some time in India following the Maharishi.

John Lennon acknowledged that Christs teaching of "the Kingdom of God is within you" was true---however---he wasn't into labels--so he rejected being labeled anything but human.

I am pretty sure he was a Hari Krishna, or something along those same lines. He was also more spiritual than religious, and could see that organized religion, especially mainstream organized religion, was not such a good thing!!!!!

The words Christian and Catholic are not mutually exclusive.

Here's a quote:
"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink.... I don't know what will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity. We're more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
You tell me.
