I think it's about him being lost and everyone is telling him turn to god, but he won't. He may be making an allusion to Albert Camus' The Stranger when he says he doesn't have time for god; he simply doesn't want to waste his time in god. Due to his lack in belief, he feels like everyone is going to tear him up for it, thus the line: "Tear me open, I believe, God will send you all to bleed" also a reference to having his mortal son Jesus bleed and die on the cross. He may seem to sumbit to everyone telling him to turn to god by saying, "Tell me what I have left to believe in." He then says he won't give up and submit to religion and will remain athiest or agnostic. In the last chorus, he screams bloody murder, just like the Inquisition by the Catholic church. In the outro, he says he just won't ask for forgiveness or repent for his sins.
Existentialist song, this is just my view of the song.
