Lyric discussion by JJKelsall 

SIOUXSIE: "No it's not about religion as such, it’s more general. A disillusioned person, or whole race who’ve ceased to understand or believe in what they held to be the truth. It tries to put across, you shouldn’t cover what you feel inside by teaching or attitudes imposed on you. It emphasises the strength of the individual." Source: Sounds 28/02/81.

So basically it is about questioning your beliefs and don't just follow things that are forced on you by authority.

i.e. zionism.

@skunkweed Zionism is the movement for Jewish independence, as much a "belief" as the movement for Japanese or American independence. That said, the restoration of David's kingdom is intrinsic part of the Jewish religion.
