It’s 50 years since The Beatle’s infamous “more popular than Jesus” quote enraged America. Music expert Simon Warner argues it was the watershed moment pop had been waiting for.“CHRISTIANITY will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that. I’m right and I’ll be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now. I don’t know which will go first, rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.”
