That "mindraping" person itself is religious.
See:
"Close your eyes and just ignore
all that is wrong with your beliefs.
What better way to be devout?"
And it teaches his religion to children and if a child grows up with a religion, there's a little chance it can ever get away from it. So that person takes away the right of child to choose it's religion itself.
See:
"Hammer down the innocent minds
of those trusting boys and girls,
And shut the door on your way out."
Further, the song criticizes intolerant thinking and religions.
See:
"How pitiful this land of yours
Where free thought is feared."
"No room for logic or debate,
in God's domain?"
"No room for logic or debate, in your domain."
