I think it might be about wisdom. Wisdom is personified it appears in the lyrics. "When there is reason, tonight he's awake".

"Sin without deceivers, a god with no believers" is perhaps an understanding of absolute truth and absolute morality. The idea that you can have a god with no believers. No one believing there is no god doesn't make it true. In like manner to sin without a deceiver kinda point to a real objective right and wrong, or evil, beyond what we humans determine is right and wrong.
