Not to suggest it's religious or anything, but there are some pretty obvious religious references/connotations.
Obviously the title, Leap of faith
'It's not your cross'. Ie crucifix sort of thing.
Preordained. Subtle one considering being ordained is to enter the priesthood.
'conscience' too. Though that's probably taking it a bit too far, but worth mentioning alongside the constant emphasis on being 'saved'.
So perhaps it's not necessarily religion, but just some path that can save you from your situation. That's what I make of it. The first verse or so also reminds me of the Gary Newlove incident an awful lot. And I'm quite sure this was written before that happened. So it goes to show how important this song is really.
