i think you guys are failing to see the big picture and sadly enough i mean taking the song for what it really is...
Bono declared that this song is the 2nd part to discotheque which according to him is about the drug Ecstasy. We all know Ecstasy give people a euphoric sense of love of everyone around them hence "do you feel loved?" whether its true or drug induced.
also, the drug is assosciated with clubbing and disco "heavy rhytthm taking over" and "pushing and shoving" are all reminders that this scenario takes place in a night club of some sort. all that symbolic ranting in the song about "turn it into your own prayer" just relates to how collectivelly people behave when in such an evirnonment. its not a personal song, its probably the most generic song the band have ever written. just think of how people at a rave party almost behave like a congregation at a church
