Yes, definitely, this song has strong connotations to the dogma and regimented nature of religion.
'I hear, only what I want to hear,
But, I have to believe in something,
Have to believe in just one thing.'
The odd belief that we MUST believe in only one god, a confined image of God. Where he stands as only the light, the truth, a benevolent warden in the skies, that grants us with things like love, and sunny days, and jaffa cakes.
It also refers to how religion looks at all that bad about you, 'father washington, you’re all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup.' He states that religion is mixed up, how can something that's suppose to be so pure and free confine you to certain rules! its madness...
'dont do that! gods watching'
I think he wanted to express this feeling, for the ridiculousness of modern religion and faith.
