The whole Absolution album is about looking inside ourselves and finding our weaknesses and sins; asking for forgiveness from God (if he exists) and/or each other for them, and then realising that if we all really work together, we can change things for the better before it's all too late and we destroy ourselves. I agree with chaos8879 here. We're being told to make a difference, and change things for the better. But it's also about the kind of war thing as well, the fact that we are likely to destroy ourselves.
Matt Bellamy said "''There's been this religious fear in the air the last few years,'' he says, ''a belief that religion could cause wars. … I'm not a religious person myself. But I wanted to put the mood into words, and I used the words of a religious fanatic.''
I suppose the album is also about realisation that there is no God, and that the only way things are going to improve is that we do it on our own, and we have faith in ourselves, not blindly in some being that may never come to save us.
Fury was meant to be on the album, the chorus says "And we'll pray that there's no God to punish us and make a fuss". If there is a God, we'll just be destroyed for what we have done to the Earth. So we have to save ourselves.
Switzerland has won the reward for being the best country or something like that. Switzerland is a very peaceful place. Switzerland is 70% atheist so people's beliefs don't clash all the time. Hmmmm, no wonder why its so peaceful. Its interesting to see how many people die because other people disrespect/don't give a crap/dislike their beliefs. ~genocide~
