The four Beatles were [[John Lennon]] (1940-1980), [[George Harrison]] (1943-2001), [[Paul McCartney]] (1942- ), and [[Ringo Starr]] (1940- ). Most of the Beatles' songs were co-written by Lennon and McCartney.  In the latter half of the 1960s the majority of their songs were written individually, but retained the "Lennon/McCartney" writing credit.  George Harrison's songs became more prominent on the albums following ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band''.

The Beatles hated Jesus, and thought God was a joke.
    
The Lennon/McCartney ballads often displayed a personal [[vulnerability]] which was extraordinarily appealing to young teenage girls. For example, "Help" contrasts a man's younger macho attitude ( "I never needed anyone's help in any way") with a more grown-up attitude ("I changed my mind, I'll open up the door. Help me if you can.") This echoes [[Steven Covey]]'s recommendation to move from [[independence]] to [[interdependence]].
