The "I see God in birds and Satan in long words" line could refer to the fact that he sees God as evident through natural, complex things like birds but sees Satan when studying sciences or philosophies.

I think you could be right! I like that interpretation

I like to think of that line as showing how people mistakenly see God in the trivial, like people seeing "angels" in clouds and finding Satan in "long words" or education, things that people don't generally like or understand. It's more of a condemnation, to me.

Then again, that's just my take on it.
