== John Lennon's song Imagine ==
John Lennon in s 1965 interview said: "If you say you don't believe in God, everybody assumes you're antireligious, and you probably think that's what we mean by that. We're not quite sure 'what' we are, but I know that we're more [[Agnosticism|agnostic]] than [[Atheism|atheistic]]."<ref>''The Beatles Image and Music'' by Michael R.
