To me, the biggest giveaway that this song is about Christianity (whether mockingly or not) is the lyrics in the undertones at the end of the song. I'll rewrite them real quick.
It's a warm summer breeze
It's a weakness in your knees
It's perfect place above
Full of everlasting love
Nothing to fear
Nothing to hide
You just say what's on your mind
Needn't think before you speak
This is how it's meant to be
Ever high never fall
You can do no wrong at all
In this heaven up above
Filled with everlasting love
To the light
To the light
To me, this symbolizes the reason that most Christians believe in Christianity. I think the highness of his voice is just to further push the meaning of going up and to be "ever high" and never falling. I usually think that all things in Guster songs have some meaning, comedy always seems to follow along with it.
