'Imagine' has become the kind of simplified quasi-anthem that gets repurposed and reinterpreted depending on who’s talking.
. “It is in the Christian idiom, but you can apply it anywhere. It is the concept of positive prayer. If you want to get a car, get the car keys. Get it? Imagine is saying that. If you can imagine a world at peace, with no denominations of religion – not without religion, but without this my-God-is-bigger-than-your-God thing – then it can be true.”
“'Imagine,' both the song itself and the album, is the same thing as 'Working Class Hero' and 'Mother' and 'God' on [],” he would say later. “But the first record was too real for people, so nobody bought it. It was banned on the radio.” "Anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, anti-capitalistic, but because it is sugarcoated it is accepted,” Lennon was quoted as saying in Geoffrey Giuliano’s 2000 biography. “Now I understand what you have to do. Put your political message across with a little honey.”
