This is a song that resonated with me as someone who grew up in a very Catholic household. It doesn't feel like an anti-religion song, but more like it's about the over-commercialization of it. There are a lot of people who turn to religion as a comfort in their life, an explanation for what they can't explain, and along with that comes those who see that as a business opportunity. These greedy businessmen and televangelists who will use someone's faith to make a quick buck. "One more crucifix, one more set of rosary beads, maybe this will help me get into heaven and make up for some of my sins." It's about the exploitation of those who are religious for monetary gain by people who likely aren't even religious.
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24
