This is basically partly a bashing of the backward mentality of some religious people and their bronze-age beliefs. He wants them to grow the fuck up and stop believing in fairy tales so humanity can move forward.
There's a bit of the Atheist's 1 Commandment "Don't be an asshole" as well:
"If there was no consequence Could you stay inside the lines?
Leave your guilt behind?"
Basically asking: Would you really e.g. go on a killing spree if you thought that there was no hell? (The answer being 'of course you wouldn't, so stop pretending you need the bible in any way for your morals').
A bit of The Problem of Evil in the last part as well.
Generally a lot of the anti-religious statements you hear, condensed into a short piece of lyrics. I friggin' love it XD
