Well, I happen to think it's a beautiful piece of music, and I view the song as an expression of a heartfelt longing for a better world and more spiritual people (and I'm sure Lennon would have included himself at the top of the list), not as a call for the Communist Manifesto. If you start taking song lyrics too literally and seriously you might as stop listening to music altogether.

"and no religion too" ????

While I will agree that one can be religious without being spiritual, it would be awfully hard to be sprititual without being religious, according to the definition of Jesus' brother James : "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

Or....you might listen to better music?
