To me, this is about the subjugation and conversion of pagan people by Christians. Burden could be lifted if we let go of free will. This seems to describe the pressure and persecution which would end if the pagans would accept Christianity.
Our thinning minds, in my abstinence I turn to nothing. This could be the feeling of atrophy of the cultural heritage lost as the old ways are forgotten to time. As the pagan ways are lost, but Christianity isn't accepted, there is a turn to atheism.
Let them inherit this fire now, lest they forget we were ever here. Literally, burn the churches down so that they will remember the people who were subjugated to build the church.
