Cover art for Mice and Gods lyrics by Clutch

Adding to what Cape Kid said, which pretty much covered it IMO, the following lines pretty much explain the approach to religion.

Love child in the reeds. Take a sample for the breed. Should have left him in the stream. Cooing at the smitten queen. The love child in the reeds is Moses. All he is good for is to take a sample for the breed, we should have left him in the stream cooing at the smitten queen. Basically indicating that such religious figures are only valued for their genetic material in this future. Religion serves no purpose.

sounds like the problems of religion of past religion and the technology we are now embracing. "holding hands with Lucifer is never that enlightening" and the mention of Moses as "child in the reeds" say the problems that religion causes

and technology is clearly referenced with the biosphere, decohedron, and genetics.

Mice and gods however is the past. Mice can = plague and sickness while gods = religion. I can interpret this as our push towards the future and technology while trying to dispose of sickness and religion as problems of a past...
