I think it's about the effect religion has on people. On one hand, there are the people who are happy with the "bones of an idol", which I see as primarily a good foundation to build your life around. And then their are people who want power and glory... the cup, belt and title.
And judging by the last part of the song, I'd say it's more specifically about how the people who are just in it for themselves end up screwing it up for everyone else.
