Sorry, I, too have to jump all over passionsignite's opinion. Honestly, I have no idea where you can see that kind of meaning in this song. If you are really into AFI, you would recall the specific T-Shirt entitled "East Bay Hardcore" which depicts pentagrams on the front and a huge one on the back. Why, then, would he be implying that God "will come and wash away the non-believers"? This makes absolutely no sense. Anyhow, I agree with Madcappunk and Ankh. I'd like to elaborate on "Break free from instinct that's left us all confined" which I believe means that the "instinct" he is referring to is Christianity in particular (or any other religion for that matter noting their creator as "God"), and that being "confined" is the fact that you must abide by God's rites in order to achieve purity. The little rant he goes off on in the end about how "God is just" is, in my opinion translated as 'How can God be just if he created such a negatively driven species', more in-depth, that kills, hates each other, creates war on each other, so on.
