It's protesting the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade. Although I don't really support the song's message-, I espescially disagree the "What is your religion? Where are your faithful? If you are against God, you are against man" segment of the song, but I love it nonetheless.
@Kohrah I agree that it's definitely overtly questioning the lifestyle / philosophy and demanding answers from someone who has chosen that path, but I think that condemnation is actually only on the surface, a way to dip her toe into the deep end and allow for her seduction into experiencing it; the song is ultimately a confession of a tormenting attraction to the darker pleasures of life, the morally questionable, the forbidden experiences.

The song demands an accounting for the sins perpetuated by followers of the Marquis de Sade's lifestyle, but it seems (by tone and obsessive repetition especially) that what the person in the song is truly asking for is to be seduced into the very forbidden experiences she is on the surface condemning.
The protagonist is begging for a deeper understanding, to be told, to receive an answer, an experience to allow her to come to a place of peace / rest from this obsession. Tell me, she says. Give me, she says. Give me salvation. And she's not sure which kind of salvation she truly would have.
