Voice of Reason

I was watching the coverage of the Olympics, when a news clip
came on about the muslim rioting over the release of the cartoon
with Muhammad wearing a bomb hat, I suddenly had a thought
that the world would be much better off if there was no religion
at all.
Soon after the news clip, when John Lennon's song "imagine" was
played as part of the opening cerimonies, and the thought fresh
on my mind, I became conscious of the anti-religious message
in the lyrics. I would like to post parts here.

Imagine
by John Lennon:

imagine there's no heaven,
it's easy to do,
no hell below us,
above only sky,

imagine there's no countries,
it isn't hard to do,
nothing to kill or die for,
no religion too,
