Unfortunately, Brian, this song can be relevant to someone with a religious viewpoint. Ahh, the beauty of interpretation.
We can most definitely be fallen from God and God's path if he exists. The context of Ad Nauseam's interpretation is that if he were to exist then we have fallen from him, but we are fallen regardless.
Listen to some other Nevermore songs. Humankind is failing and the question of God's existence pops up everywhere. "Can we agree to disagree on the concept of God?" We most definitely can and do. It's just one more of our flaws that will be our undoing.
