I respectfully disagree. You can't sing a song that has the words "And no religion, too" and expect people around the world who *are* religious to nod and smile. I understand "and all religion is true" is a paradox, and I also understand I seem to be in the minority among YouTube viewers, but I thought it was tastefully done. Unity, not divisiveness.
But I also respect your right to your own opinion.
@sqweebel1 "All religion's true" is a paradox. It negates the validity of various religious dogma, reducing it all to the essential truth that Lennon was trying to convey. The opposite of the phrase "All religion is true" is nihilism:"The rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless." Do you honestly believe Lennon was a nihilist?
@BongoShaftsbury1 "All religion is true" is the opposite of "no religion too." If John had sang the former than it would not only oppose the whole message of the song, it would cause conflict between religious groups, which Is something John certainly would have objected to.
Actually, Cee Lo wasn't far off from John's message. John even said: "If you can imagine a world at peace, with no denominations of religion - not without religion but without this my-God-is-bigger-than-your-God thing."
