It's an interesting theory, and it has a very valid point... but as people have pointed out, the only religions/ideologies in the song itself are Hinduism and Buddism. Religion wouldn't make the followers of these religions cry. It's the same when you look at the yearsof infection (2000), most established religions are far older. But, dude, I'm not getting that. To me, this seems like a song about literal zombies, a post-apocalypse world filled with stumbling brain-eaters and a few last strongholds of civilization. At least, that's my own personal opinion answering the question "What does this song mean to you?". Sometimes a fish is a fish is a fish.
