I feel this is a song about the hypocrisy of peoples ideas about our social lives in contrast to religious ideals or belief. When we think about our interactions in a secular fashion we are capable of doing actions or vices because of our naturally flawed characters as human beings. That's one of the main tenets of Christianity and Jesus Christ's role in saving us by dying for our sins. We will sin and it is for the sacred religion to save us. So when (if you watch the video you see the girl sleeps with a priest) a symbol of religion sins as well, our acceptance of promiscuity in our social lives hits a no tolerance point. The sacrilegious act of when a married girl sleeping with a priest the followers must punish them by putting them to death. It's intolerable, it's sacrilege. So to summarize my interpretation, it is the religious followers who sin regularly, but when the institution falters there is no tolerance. Ideals can not be messed with, no matter how much you plead and pray.
In other words conservatives are hypocrites because ideals can not exist in the real world.
