Lyric discussion by severian 

The chorus is obviously alluding to the French Revolution. The French king's wars in American Revolution bankrupted him so much that the poor starved. They revolted and formed mobs. The church was above the king hence "what's a king to a god". Many priests were slaughtered because of the new government banning Christianity, hence what's "a god to a non believer". "Will he survive, alright alright, no church in the wild" probably alludes to the famous executions and the anarchy and godlessness of the revolution.
