I would say the meaning could be quite broad, I don't think its aimed directy at a church, or a relationship or a cult, the wording of the song can be aimed at all of them, I think its talking about people and groups in general. Pessimistic, self-loving, I think he is talking about people, plain and simple.
the song also talks about peoples need to be accepted, that is were I think it might refer to a cult,
people feel accepted in cults, which is why they are so strong, once a personis really into the cult the leader can manipulate them to get them to act a certain way, "if you were a true believer you would..." etc...
