I think it's about God, and how religion is a medication taken by some people who can't cope with the "vaccuum of ideas" that exists without a belief in a God. The drugs is a metaphor.
"I get my drugs from God oh yeah (oh yeah), you should see the shit he's got oh yeah (oh yeah)
And then it starts, a trip of a lifetime, our spaceship up against yours"
I think that's about those religious people who are arrogant and tries to big up God's existance and the benefits of being in a religion. The second line being about once someone's in a religion they'll seek conflict with others "a trip of a lifetime, our spaceship up against yours". I imagine Biffy are speaking from an atheist's point of view, using a spaceship as a metaphor for what they see as the ridiculous beliefs of religious people, and using the drug trip thing as a metaphor for getting caught up in extremist religion.
I'm sure it says "A day of no religion". But that might be me misshearing it to back up my claim of it's meaning :P
That's my view anyway.

I don't think this song has any depth. It's just about one sweet-ass shrooms trip.
