With a name like "Antichrist superstar" this was always gonna be a religious debate. Athiests vs Christians, and like every other debate it drags on and noone really wins in the end.
Can everyone step back for a second and try to find the true meaning behind this song rather then try convert eachother.
I think this song on its own is about the decay of christian values as the result of rejecting religion.
The first few lines explain how the character sees religion, as a source of money (line 3) and a source of power (line 4) and they get this through preaching fear of a higher power and punishment (lines 1 and 5-8).
The end of the song refers to the decay of christian values, which in the song and CD is refered to as "the rise of the anti-christ". So the anti-christ isnt a person as such, it is more of a state of mind.
As part of the CD it is the first song in Cycle III "Disintegrator Rising", so basicly an introduction to the rest of Cycle III.
