In matthew in the bible theres a verse (25:32) about separating the sheep from the goats. The true believers (sheep) vs those who follow the wrong path. Which relates to the title.
I don't think this song is anti-christian. Maybe anti-religon...Catholics pray using a rosary, say there hail Mary's etc. In the song when he refers to the son of your idol. Mary is the idol.
In the chorus he talks about 'this extensive bug collection' which I think refers to the idea of evolution. The huge variety of bugs is seen to support evolution. He's talking about scientific discovery offering a world view outside of a religious belief system.
The world was not flat as people believed, and Darwin demonstrated an idea of our existence independent from our creation by a supernatural being. These ideas cast doubt on claims in the bible about creation, virgin mary etc
I'm not sure what each line in the song means, but I think the general gist of it is that he's questioning, searching for an answer.
The last line of the chorus suggests he's not sure what to believe. If it weren't for this I would still be sleeping sound. If he was ignorant of all these conflicting different ideas he could just beleive something without questioning and sleep sound at night.
