I think some of the comments calling for people to turn to god are quite entertaining. You know, if you listen to much arcade fire, you'll realize that they seem to be very anti-religion. (not to say that they are anti-faith). In fact, if you pick up the December 07 edition of Spin magazine, there is a great interview with Win Butler (lead singer for this band). I think that they really hate religion and establishment (for good reason!).
I think this song is about an internal fight between feelings of falling into the establishment mindset and the reality of the world. You know, its so funny how so many fundamentalist Christians are quick to point fingers at others and tell them how they are sinning and going to hell (i.e. toward gay people) yet, they never look inside themselves and see the sin that is far worse - hate.
This song is about having an intervention. Like any intervention, you must first realize that you have a problem..."working for the church while my life falls apart." Those crazy fundamentalists constantly point the finger toward other people...why?? because they are "working for the church." They can't see the forest for the trees. Indeed, if we all had an intervention and moved away from that terrible "drug" called "religion" we might be able to become better humans again. Religion has bastardized humanity in a search for "Faith" which is really a search for hatred because of people who are not like you.
I'm not sure if you're saying that you think 'a search for "Faith" which is really a search for hatred because of people who are not like you' or if thats what you think what the song is about. If that is what you think : I'd like to say thats thats not what faith is, not to me. To me, faith is believing in something greater than yourself, something that you can't see. I'm sorry if you've met people who have convinced you otherwise. To me, faith isn't about what/who you belive in, its just that (pretend that that...

And if you don't have faith, thats fine too. Although you don't have to; I just think it's a good thing to have to hold on to.
And if you were saying that that is what you think the song was about : Ooops!!! Sorry!!!!! No offense meant. (either way)
