Forgive me if I don't agree with the vision presented in this song. I'd rather the whole of humanity not be a completely homogenized society that all worship the freaking Hare Krishna or the Cult of Lennon or something.

"Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too..."

His philosophy isn't so much atheism as much as it is hippieism.

Again, I restate my opinion. I'd rather not see humanity become completely homogenized, and lose every trace of cultural and religious distinction.

Peace doesn't necessitate the end of all differences or faiths.

His religious philosophy is objectively atheism. His social philosophy, you could call "hippieism" if you wanted to illegitimate his entire belief system down to a buzzword. But he's not against culture or difference, he's against differences that carry war and conflict with them. Like religion. He's not claiming that Germany and France should abandon their unique cultural identity and conform to the same one as the rest of the world.
