Even though I am not religious, and even though I suspect Bruce for being pretty religious, I think Bruce in this song describes moments where you stop believing. When things are so sad and unbearable you really feel like there isn't anything to believe in, because the things you believed in, or made you able to live happily, now are gone.
For me my hope of falling in love someday and my family and dog are what makes me able to live, because those feelings I share with them are the feelings I believe in.
