Basically the way I see it, the song is Varg trying to say that there are other beliefs than jsut "your" christian beliefs. Being a guy who feels so strongly on the subject of Christianity overtaking Pagan culture and practises he says "the knowing". Meaning Pagans who actually had the right idea about what the world was like.
More or less the song is "think outside the box". There are other beliefs than your own and jsut because they arn't what you believe dosn't make them any less acceptable/right.
