[Answer] 5. Which member of The Beatles made the controversial statement "We're more popular than Jesus now"?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. Which member of The Beatles made the controversial statement "We're more popular than Jesus now"?"

...1. Paul McCartney 2. Ringo Starr 3. George Harrison 4. John Lennon John made the statement in March 1966 in an interview that was printed in the "Evening Standard". The statement was a small part of a large article and in its full context it read: "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will 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." The remark passed virtually unnoticed in the UK. However, part of the remark was printed on the cover of the American magazine "Datebook" a few months later. Faced with the choice of reading the whole comment, taking it in context and perhaps engaging in an informed debate, or burning The Beatles' records, banning the playing of their records, issuing death threats and forcing concerts to be banned, the American religious right opted for the latter. It was after this incident that The Beatles decided to stop touring, for a variety of reasons. John always said that he was thankful to Jesus for bringing their touring days to an end, as he was beginning to feel worn down by them.
