Drums frontman Jonathan Pierce grew up in a religious household but has since lost his faith. This one of several tracks on their second album Portamento in which he attacks Christianity.
The song was inspired by Sam Harris' book Letter To A Christian Nation. Pierce told NME: "I actually only read it this year, and it leaked into a lot of the lyrics on the album. Sam Harris is an outspoken atheist. Growing up in a very religious, almost cultish place, reading this book really sorted things out for me. The first song on the album 'Book of Revelation,' speaks of the revelation I had after reading the book."
