i take a pretty simple meaning from this song and that is this: if we are all born with sin, then can anyone ever really be good enough to go to heaven? and perhaps that since christians believe themselves to already be sinners then maybe the only people who dont have a sin to live with, the only people with nothing on their concience are the atheists, or agnostics, that live good natured lives. as for "so many decent people at the gates", i think kalnoky is reffering to the idea that there are a lot of really good people who cant get into heaven because they werent christian, or because they renounced the idea of a god. i think he is again stating the reasons hes not religious, but he never seems to actually denounce any one religion, or state that they are wrong. i think kalnoky is a decently open minded person, who while not religious himself, for reasons pointed out numerously on this album, doesnt hold the anti-religious sentiments that some of you seem to see in his statements. oh well, im not tomas so i cant really know can i?

@majorpayne401 I think your right I dont think he denounces religion he's just somewhere in the between.
