This may be the most elegant and sincere pro-atheism song I have ever heard. Think about it.
"We pray to a ghost that we never met
Time turns for a cure, from the scientists for
Madness, madness of the heart
But you knew it, you knew it from the start."
She's saying the religion and faith in things we don't understand are total madness and loss of reason and people are looking to science and logic for answers. She goes on to talk about how "Hawking will tell us no tall tales this spring." In contrast to various faith that have stories to explain everything. It makes more sense if you consider that when asked about her beliefs, she talks about how she's an atheist but Stephen Hawking's work and ideas means a lot to her.
Anyway, regardless of whether or not anyone agrees with that, that's what I see in it and I think it's a beautiful song.
I didn't know she was atheist. So I guess I was write about the meaning of the song. Where is the interview at anyway? I honestly have never heard her say anything that would lead to believe she is one.

This isn't where I originally heard it, but it is mentioned in this interview.

Ah thanks. I may not be an atheist, but I still like this song.
