he lost faith in god a long time ago, but now things are so bad he even lost faith in men, so he turns to god again, but in the end he still does not believe in it.
but for me, this song is much more a criticism to religious radicals ("And we stop blowin' up strangers' houses, And making orphans of innocent kids, And people stop thinking the world's theirs for the taking
'Cause your world once told them it is") and religious people that doesn't do anything to make a better world because they're waiting for god to solve everything ("When people tell me, 'Have faith and be patient, We're waiting for God to show up").
