I would agree more with the evangelical idea. The part where he says "I drive out demons...now say my name....and do it all again,etc" reminds me of one of those crazy religious dudes who claims to heal people and have all those people falling over. Basically, they are trying to say that these religious guys are getting these bullshit, miraculous healings, inflating their egos by having all these people believe it and call his name out, and then he proceeds to do the same type of miracles to many others.
Furthermore, the chorus, "my subtle hustle, smooth as mothers butter, i let it ride on, i let it ride on", I think is referring to the fact that people continually let religious figures hold high positions of power with little check. Possibly, they are trying to say that religion or those bullshit healers in particular are just hustling people but people trust religion so much that nobody will question them...letting him ride on.
