I agree that this song is about how we use religion as an excuse to go to war, but the song isnt necessarily about war itself. but through the whole of history religion has been behind most wars.
"Come lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you"
this is an invitation to fight
and "praise the lord and pass the ammunition" is a religious leader telling people that god wants them to fight
