I'm not an expert in religion, but I know enough that this is definitely centered on it. I'm not positive on the perspective either, but I think it is a refutation of religion. It discusses peoples attempts at understanding God as well:
"all the children painted diagrams of god upon their hands
hoping somewhere on this shaking earth, they could find a place to stand.",
and "we turned our water into whining, shouting, "let us be like christ!"
"what tied our hands tight to the train tracks" Might suggest following religion is dangerous
