I'm just here to say, I don't think that this song has anything to do with religion. I like this song, but I am also religous, and to be honest I really don't care whether or not you believe in God or not. Everybody can make their own decisions that affect themselves and so you are entitled to believe in what you like. To the people that say that religion is a bad thing through inspiring the KKK and the crusades, you are wrong. The Bible and other religous teachings do not convey any message of the sort, infact its quite the opposite, these people who are harming other people 'in the name of God' are simply seeking an excuse to justify their actions, they are in no way doing what God would have wanted. Religions have had trouble in the past but that is only because of corrupt figureheads that have obviously misinterpreted the Religions teachings, principles and morals. There is no religion in the world that is based on Evil, they are only in place to make this world a better place. I'm sorry for this lengthy post but I personally have had enough of religions being the target and scape-goat for so many attrocoties, like I said, everybody can believe in whatever they like, but do not senselessly go looking for somebody to blame.
I more think this song assumes the perspective of nature and the earth. With its cynical tone, the song illustrates how we selfishly have no repspect for anything or anyone else. We blindly destroy each other and the world. "I am all you've ever slain," supports how our futile attempts of war and hate have left us with nothing. We destroyed humanity, the earth is laughing, and now the world is pure without us.
