I think the title either refers to the book Stranger In A Strange Land or to the Book of Exodus (from which the sci fi book took its title).I don't take the song to be literally about God or Jesus, but that those are analogies. I think the song speaks of salvation and finding "righteousness" so to speak and the extremes of goodness and evil which people are capable of. The whole album has a disapproving tone of society and humanity and how we choose to conduct ourselves and destroy ourselves from the inside out. "I'm guilty of treason" probably speaks of giving into society's values and our general way of life and betraying what we know to be a better way. It also seems to be a song of death, "Angel or demon, it came for my soul" has almost an apocalyptic sound to it, stating that something is coming for us and saying "gonna live forever tonight" The song states to get on your knees if youre looking for Jesus, which probably is an analogy for "repenting" and changing our (society's) ways to live in a better fashion. Also, in the book of the same title, the main character was raised on Mars (nice reference to their name) and doesn't understand "human" things such as war and jealousy (although he himself is human but was just raised by Martians). He was "a stranger in a strange land" once he was returned to earth and hoped to change humanity into more of a Martian type society and only understood the concept of God as a being that was understood by being part of it and a unit of oneness amongst creation. The song could be alluding to the book in that sense as well.
HI! I also liked your interpretation..still, I wanted to ask you about 'Vatican's son'. What do you think they meant? is there an insult to catholic church? I hope I am wrong! I love there music, but..

Wow, this is one of the best interpretations I've seen of any song with this difficult-elaborated-almostsenceless-lyrics.
You're amazing, I would have never understood the song

Yeah, a great lyrical insight! But I don't think its 'vaticon's son' its 'I've abandoned control'
