I've always thought that if it was an allegory, it was a prelude to 'God Thinks', only before Voltaire realizes that it's humans and not God abusing religion. Until that realization, God's just the noisy neighbor whose followers (in this case, the annoying sounds) just won't let Voltaire get a good rest.
I love the intro to this song. Panicky vocals, shuffling rat-like drums, a cello that goes bump in the night - it's the toy shop of the damned at midnight!
