Down Down Down to Mephisto's Cafe

Is this a song about atheism? I think so. The only way Tomas says relgion is real is if others could just convince you that theirs is right. the line "if your father really loves you more What about the other families?" asks if other religions are wrong since they believe something else. Other things: "we were never meant to fly" - no such thing as heaven? "Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eye and fire in his heart He said you'll never have to choose a side It's rewarding but oh, the road is hard...." He meets an atheist, being one myself, it is tough having people of different faiths always trying to convince you that you're wrong Mephisto's cafe is where it seems the atheists go to, almost like church, to discuss religion and hang out. the line, "Well I know when I'm wrong and I sure as hell ain't wrong this time" shows he won't back down from what he believes. "Well I know when I'm wrong and I sure as hell ain't wrong this time"
