This song is a delightful parody of a Christian summer camp for teens and the fanaticism that seems to be a big part of teenage Christianity (and kept me firmly in the non practising believer group throughout high school).
I think Dar strikes perfect notes all the way through describing the perfect, pure girls who pray for everyone else while policing them as well, the idea that the absolute worst things you could ever do are get high or have sex, and the struggle between purity and your maturing libido which leaves you with the strong impression that perhaps sex isn't so evil after all "and the boys' skin dries in the sun."
I also thought she kind of hit it dead on when describing the Teens for God who give up their religiosity in college, possibly because they wanted to get high and/or have sex.
