My objections isn't so much that Lennon a song is butchered. I actually prefer A Perfect Circles cover of "Imagine" over the original.
No, the issue here is that Christians had to once again interject their religion where it wasn't wanted. Imagine is a decidedly anti-religion song, but it's not enough for them to live and let live. No, they had to go and bastardize something because it didn't conform to their worldview, all under the air of self-righteousness. Congratulations, religion, you've poisoned one more thing you got your hands on. [/rant]
I feel about this as Christians would if I went and re-wrote the lyrics to "Jesus Loves His Little Children" to be about delusions gullibility.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
