This song is obviously about tripping, in this case probably acid. In fact, lots of Dredg stuff references psychedelics. I don't think religion even factors in here.
The first verse is convincing a skeptical person to just take the drugs, the second verse is about avoiding a social-situation bad trip. The key to psychedelics is remembering that your brain will lie to you as well as reveal incredible truths, this song sums that idea up.
And the reason that the second verse describes social anxiety so well is because having a social panic attack while tripping is an extreme temporary version of social anxiety.
