I read it more as a song about falling in love with a girl who's considering Christianity, and the narrator (possibly Adams, maybe not) feels like he could lose her to religion, like she won't be the same person if she converts. The line "Jesus don't know you / He was just saying hi" to me sounds like she had a brief flirtation with Christianity and he's saying, "Don't take her from me, Jesus," because he doesn't believe in what she's leaning toward.
That might be a radical interpretation, but that's definitely how I see it.

Christianity really? This song is about someone close to Ryan that's dying or about to die but he doesn't want Jesus to "take" her away from him.

"Jesus, don't touch my baby She's all that I got"
"Jesus, don't touch my baby She's all that I got"
Jesus touch is like a metaphor for dying in this song.
