As an atheist, I really relate to this song. It reminds me of my thoughts on religion when I was younger, wondering why if "god is great" then why are the people who believe in him so judgmental. I think that they are saying that,the insane standards most religious preach about, are completely impossible to live up to, and that he can't think of anyone who would make it into heaven under those standards.
PS. to those of you so "shocked" that the band would write a song like this...remember that some of the band members are atheist, and the band as a whole has proved that they have doubts about religion in other songs.
