This is a wonderfully sarcastic song, in my opinion.
The chorus basically says we don't have a reason to live because we're living alone. God is dead because we killed him (a reference to Jesus Christ, who is the subject of "Regicide" I believe).
And yet, it's not true. We all know that we do have a reason to live. All the more, those of us that know the truth know that we have nothing to fear from death because "I won't die alone."
It's true that churches and morals represent weakness. He speaks sarcastically Oh, yeah, let's just tear them down. But it's obvious that these things mean something to our communities and to us as individuals (most of us).
This song makes me think of Mark Antony's speech at the end of the play Julius Caesar. Everything he says, he means quite the opposite and proves it by following logic.
