This is definitely, a rejection of religion. However it can be confusing as the song takes both an Atheistic approach and an Agnostic approach. It rejects the notion of an afterlife. "And when you die, the only kingdom you'll see is two foot wide and six foot deep." This is a very Atheistic outlook. The Agnosticism comes through in: "I'll bow for your king when he shows himself". I am Atheist but I can see how this song may confuse people at times. But it is no where near as confusing as crooked young xD
@Sw1tCh123 All agnostics are atheists. It's frustrating how many people do not understanding the difference. Atheists don't believe in God, theists do. Gnosticism refers to how sure you feel about the belief, whether atheist or theist. To be gnostic means you feel sure; to be agnostic means you feel unsure.

Too many people think "atheist" means "someone who feels sure there is no God". This is not true. That description is a gnostic atheist (aka "strong atheist"). Most atheists (including even Richard Dawkins) are agnostic atheists--they don't feel absolutely sure.

The line you...
The line you quote that you say indicates agnosticism does not, at all.
