"blankets so secure that they block out the sweep of the floodlights that could free them from the darkness that surrounds them. From the demons that keep hounding them and gouge their eyes"
With this part I get the feeling Propagandhi is trying to say that religion is creating its own fear in its followers. Unless you are a believer you don't have the sense of an EVIL trying to tempt you, take over your life and demons trying to gouge your eyes. They are saying that you are protecting yourself so securely behind your religion and feel it is a safe-haven from evil that some people never see that their mere faith is what creates all of these characters in the first place. If only they would let in some of the floodlights they would be rescued from these fantasy demons that their own religion has created for them to fear. This is why people who follow a doctrine so strong especially when tied into a promise of a paradise in the after-life (or punishment) will do pretty much anything in this life.
