First let's start with: SOAD members are not christians. They belive that god is not that important and many times in their songs they have emphasised this theory.
The meaning of this song is that war is bad, so it is not about religion.
First they start with they who got killed (bottom of the grave), who are waiting for god (any religion) but he will not come, at least this is what the band believes in. Even if their believe is not true, still being dead is bad since they might not go to heaven because maybe thay deserved to die.
The refrein tells that men and children are going to war by thinking u gonna kill the bad guys, as media would make us believe, but when you go there, you find out that it is wrong. In war no one can find hope for a better life or truth about they being right about making the war. Even if a soldier comes home, he is not the same, so he will never come back.
Second the one who killed (top of the grave), christians most of the times since most strong countries are susch, and the band points out as waiting jesus, should not wait for salvation since they have killed. Can't go to heaven with this...
Welcome to the wold of a soldier, where you are alone. And people are grown up to send them to war. Sure the band puts the blame on governments.
About the religion again; they are not christians, and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone is free to believe in anything, as long as they don't bother others, and here they are not against any religion.
