First of all, SRDirty, for someone to be an educated person like a doctor, and simultaneously a christian, he should at some point account for the partition in his brain between reasonable knowledge based on evidence, and the faith-based beliefs of religion [with no evidence in their favor].
Secondly: My interpretation of the song:
Christianity [more specifically, Catholicism].
The first verse refers to the Inquisition, witch hunts, and maybe the crusades. "Ancient lies" refers to Christianity itself, since it began as a lie, and is now believed by something like two billion people.
The second verse refers to all of those altar boys who got diddled. [a Jesuit is a follower of Jesus]
The third verse is sort of a closing in his message to/about Christians/Christianity. He refers to the violence enacted by Christians in history, in their attempt to convert the world to their ridiculous views, and closes by telling them that they have no place or necessity in our modern world.
