It's a travesty to deface Lennon's work like that. The fucker should be sued.
He's dead dumb dumb. He also knows something you don't.
Lennon was an atheist or at the very least an agnostic. Just look at his lyrics, not only to Imagine, but to God (the Dream is Over), where he states, "I don't believe in Bible... I don't believe in Jesus... I don't believe in Buddha... I don't believe in Mantra..." etc. And it culminates in, "I just believe in me. Yoko and me, and that's reality." Doesn't sound like a believer to moi. There are other songs of his where a non-faith worldview can be inferred, if not explicitly stated.
I believe Yoko Ono still owns the rights to most of Lennon's post-Beatles music. The guy doing this cover could be sued, assuming he's selling this tripe.
It really bugs me when people misappropriate music or other artworks for their own rather than their intended purposes... My dad loves Bob Marley, yet he's a racist... I still don't understand how he reconciles his love for the artist with his worldview.
