Part of my rant can be seen in my reply to XianSnake above, but my interpretation of this song, regardless of what she meant when writing it, is that the absence of god DOES bring me comfort. For years I felt bad because I couldn't figure out what religion felt right to me and even with church involvement and religious friends, I could never swallow Christianity or religion in general. Then I started reading and journaling and discovered that there ARE no gods.
But back to the song... to me it reads as some have said above, like an exploration of lifestyles without the presence of religion. Freedom to act in a way that seems sensible to the individual, and freedom to explore other people's beliefs without guilt - "we could be daytime drunks if we wanted to, but we'd never get anything done"; "Rob says..."; "Morgan says..."
"And I say there's trouble, when everything is fine" means that when things are static and unchanging, we are not growing as a people. She feels the need to "destroy" things, to shake them up.
All in all I think this song is about everyone's search for truth and meaning in life, and how they are reflected in society.
