Is John Lennon against Christianity? Or does he believe in Christ? I've really been getting into his music lately. So I was just wondering about him and his beliefs.

I think he was conflicted. On one hand, he liked the religion and what it taught. On the other, he had some serious problems with it. Throughout his life, he seemed to always searching for something that would bring him inner peace. He didn't find it when members of the group traveled to India to stay with the Maharashi Mahesh Yogi in early 1968. If anything, he became disillusioned with his visit there and his drug use increased. It wasn't until his five-year-long retirement in the 1970s and shortly before the recording and release of his comeback album "Double Fantasy" that he seemed to be able to find that inner peace. It's too bad he didn't have long to live after that.

John was a seeker
In his later days -- he produced the song "Imagine"
In which he poses the scenario for the listener to "imagine" that there is no heaven or hell --- or much beyond what we have in front of us on the day by day in life --- and asks "would this, then mean that we might make more OF this life --- if this is all that there was ?"
This is a "question" and a view that would come from someone still seeking --- still weighing the options and possibilities !!
I think that an awful lot of his work bears a view that he KNEW that there was far more to life than meets the eye --- but, there was always that feeling in his lyrics that he wanted, also, to take everything on face value too !! All of this goes to creating a seeming personality in a measure of conflict !! And, as a good deal of us know --- it is out of the biggest conflicts that a lot of innovation and creativity comes !!!!!!!!

John Lennon believed in hope and lived a dream that turned out to be a nightmare. But he certainly didn't seem to be a big fan of any type of religion.

I don't think John Lennon was an atheist, but I would guess he was agnostic. I think he had a show me attitude.

He didnt believe in Christianity. He believed more about the works of Karma and Buddist monks. He was big on Reincarnation

I just don't know....he may have started out that way and probably retained a portion of it but I think his enlightenment's took him into different fields....wasn't he a follower of Maharishi ?

who knows, listen to what music you want too and believe in what you want too without anyone else's opinions

don't like him. He is a bitter person who thought he was intellectually above others.
