John Lennon-Effect of Music in religion

Give Peace a Chance", the song  by John Lennon became an anti-war anthem, but its lyrics offended religious groups. Lennon's explanation was, "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—then it can be true."

Lyrics of The song are as follows

 Give Peace a Chance
- John Lennon

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
