I don't see the song as so much of just a straight-up insult and denial of the religion's existence, but more of the questioning of it. He's not sure if it's actually real because everyone and all the information out there from those thousands of sources make it so confusing and complicated with no real straight answers of anything. He just chooses to not accept it because of that when he says "all religion can go straight to Hell", I don't think he's necessarily saying that it's not "real".
I also find it interesting how he does mention some form of a god in his other songs, such as "Get Up", which someone else has mentioned, as well as "You Think it's a Joke" when he says "and if there's a god above..." and so forth. It sounds to me like he possibly has partially believed it off-and-on throughout his life, but this song right here is talking about his questioning.
He pokes fun at it obviously too, though, as a way to relieve some of the stress, anger and disappointment that believing it has given him.
