jesus and christianity are still tools of capitalism. The song shows how jesus' teachings turned natural allies against each other, which is what capitalism does- why else do the poor vote against their own best interests time and again? Why do we still pass anti-immigrant laws. Why are we still so racist? Why do we allow our government to murder and maim muslim children? We allow the global capitalists to turn us against each other the better to control and oppress us. And actually I think the church is more than a tool, it is an active partner is oppressing the poor.
