Maybe you should listen more closely? I haven't listened to Illinois in a while, but I remember he makes several blatant references to Christianity on "Casimir Pulaski Day" (referencing Bible Study, Church, etc.) and "The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us" ("Oh the glory that the Lord has made, etc.") as well as some other thinly veiled references throughout the album.
