It's a critique of corporatism and greed. I just saw a TMBG show and John Flansburgh said he was a bit of communist, and that makes sense here. The speaker of this song dismisses the "exploited working class" which Communists are wont to dwell on. It's not about a religious figure per se, but it is a satire about society's religious-like devotion to successful corporations.
