A song about questioning God's existence and the hypocrisy of religious people.
"I can't help but feel that I made some mistake, but I let it go" means that everyone knows that deep down they are "sinners" but they don't really care. Religious people are only religious when it helps them.
"And I think in your heart that you see the mistakes, but you let it go" means that a supposed omnipotent God would be able to rid the world of injustice, but somehow God does not act. He won't even say his name.
If God exists and allows the world to be the way it is, then how could this God live with himself?
Btw, "I am that I am" is the correct translation, it is way God choses to reveal himself, i.e., as an eternal being without beginning, who's being depends on its own being.

Everything "is what it is". Even a chocolate bar is what it is.

Why has God not made himself obvious?

Why has God not removed the evil choices of humans and catastrophic events of nature etc?

With all due respect, I don't think that this is what the artists had in mind. This is what I get from it.

I'm unsure were you go the information from the first sentence. This song definitely seems to be about how no one really cares about God and that it seems ridiculous to the artists (VW) that God could love humanity (because humanity doesn't love God).

I think you are right on the point about sinners not caring, though I fail to understand where the sentence "Religious people are only religious when it helps them." comes from.
"And I can't help but think That you've seen the mistake" - meaning that God has seen the mistake he's made in creating humanity - "but you let it go" - but he decides not to do away with us.
So, in other words, the song is talking about how the world couldn't care less about God, but that God continues loving the world - the author of the song doesn't understand why God would love us.
