I don't claim to be an expert on the meaning of this song, or whether it has anything to do with religion.
However, the line is not "praising while cold and". If you listen, there's an extra syllable in the song. In keeping with the theme of the album, and the songs referencing eachother now and then, it sounds more like he's saying "praising monocle men", just with the syllables stressed awkwardly. I dunno, maybe it's just me. But it seems it would fit better.
