The lyrics began as a rather flippant, tongue in cheek poem.(Genetic_Junk and) redmaggott,
rather bizarre song; though the more I heard the song(s), the more sense it/they made..... Heavy topic lyrically. ... Rock on dudes!
The subject matter isn't anything that would be considered heavy, not here in the UK.
Fortunately we don't really "do" religion any more. The vast majority of Brits only go to church for a wedding, funeral or christening. Even then, most would rather give the service a miss and just turn up for the piss up down the pub afterwards.

The final stanza was modified for the song, so as not to offend.
Replacing find / mind with learn / burn does work better for the song, though.
