4. John Lennon
During his short time on this Earth, Lennon had achieved a status that rarely any celebrity today can boast with. First among equals in The Beatles – Lennon was always a rebel at heart, thus, it’s not hard to imagine why he was an atheist. His religious beliefs are maybe best described in his song, called “God”:
“God is a Concept by which we measure our pain, I don’t believe in magic, I don’t believe in I-ching, I don’t believe in Bible, I don’t believe in Tarot, I don’t believe in Hitler, I don’t believe in Jesus, I don’t believe in Kennedy, I don’t believe in Buddha, I don’t believe in Mantra, I don’t believe in Gita, I don’t believe in Yoga, I don’t believe in Kings, I don’t believe in Elvis, I don’t believe in Zimmerman, I don’t believe in Beatles, I just believe in me, Yoko and me, and that’s reality.”
