Anti-religion. I always wanted to write a song like this one! How religion and politics inevitably intertwine, and sometimes lead to war and genocide.

I don't think it's neccersarily Anti-Religion as such. I think it's more mocking the ways in which the churches are run as opossed to the relgion iteself; "Ain't this uniform so flattering?"

"You're the soldiers of the new world"; could this suggest that there is a hope for the church in the modern world?

Could "Put your faith in a miracle And it's non-denominational Join the choir we will be singing In the church of wishful thinking"

...suggest that we will be wishiing for the church to be controlled correctly? Possibly by the 'soldiers...

Agreed

I hate when people categorize anti-stupid as anti-religion >_<

Believe it or not they aren't the same thing!
