How would you interpret the religious symbolism as mocking those religious beliefs? Googling around says that he is religious:

"some recent events have led me to the rediscovery of Jesus" [1]

"My views against Christianity or religion in general are directed towards the 'middle men'-those who are in power and use religion as a market force by which to manipulate human beings for their own personal gain [and not the core religious beliefs themselves]. The middle men taint any purity of spirituality that could result from genuine religious/mystical experiences" [2]

I thought I once listened to an interview where the singer discussed wine making and atheism. Perhaps my brain is mixing two people together.
Although:

"What do you think is/are the greatest injustice(s) occurring in the world right now?"

MK: "Religion, TV, and media." [2]

You're taking that out of context. He's against *organized* religion, but not against the batshit crazy ideologies (miracles, "spirits", afterlife) that underpin them.

Yeah, he always seemed a tad batshit crazy so it all makes sense now.
