Jim Cornette is an atheist as well as a liberal (or at least vehemently against conservatism). As stated in an online interview video:
"I got news for you, I don't believe in the supernatural. I don't believe in a supreme being, an invisible man in the sky..."
"...as John Lennon said, 'Imagine there's no religion, it's easy if you try / No hell below us, above us only sky'..."
Jim Cornette, professional wrestling personality, stated in a recent YouShoot interview that "I don't believe in the supernatural, I don't believe in a supreme being, an invisible man in the sky". He follows that up with the Imagine no religion quote. More directly, comparing himself to fellow personality Vince Russo. "We couldn’t be more opposite. He’s a Yankee and I’m a southerner. He’s born-again and I’m an atheist." [1]
