I'd taken that the "Neon Bible" to mean "television" - news reports bring is a constant stream of tragedy and despair: we're ruining the planet, we're perpetually at war, we're threatened by disease. It really does give you the impression that there isn't much change of survival.
The album - this musical genre - doesn't do much for me, personally, but I do quite like this track, it's got a lullaby quality to it that's quite hypnotic.
if it is then it is a stupid song. Never in human existence have humans had is so good, on the whole, even in some of the worst places on earth. Yeah, we still have a ways to go but just look at infant mortality rates and life expectancy across the globe. This whole capitalism thing is really still quite new and needs adjustments but along with freedom, liberty and science thing are going to get a whole lot better still, and what we have now we owe to the aforementioned combination.

I think you've got it exactly right, AlfB. That's always been my interpretation of this song too: The Neon Bible is television. Also, scolopacid, the idea is that the media is sensationalizing everything that is negative in society. You're right that things have certainly improved for many socities (not all...certainly not all) in many regards, but the way that society is portaryed in the media is incredibly skewed toward the negative...Not much chance for survival if the Neon Bible is right. I think that's kind of the point of the song, which is NOT stupid.
