When I was younger, I didn't like this song because of the lyrics. Specifically the line "no religion too". I think this line still disturbs people because they find that it offends their religious beliefs. And that is exactly the point the song is trying to say. Ironically, religion can be very divisive. An extreme example of this is ISIS. They oppress women and will essentially kill anyone who will oppose their religion and their belief system.
Anything that clearly delineates people from one another creates some sort of friction. The song simply invites you to imagine a world where nothing separates our beliefs from one another. Where the world can simply be one unified entity maybe a world simply believing in LOVE.
