In an Observer interview in 2006 Elton John called for religion to be “banned”. Together with knocking the church's treatment of homosexuality, he ranted: “From my point of view I would ban religion completely. Organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.” He also said that religious leaders aren't doing enough to stop war, adding: “The world is near escalating to World War Three and where are the leaders of each religion? Why aren't they having a conclave? Why aren't they coming together?” We can only assume he's wearing a crucifix in the above photo for decorative reasons!
