I see it more as poking fun at the human desire for some magical silver bullet answer to life's sufferings and the big "why". We cling to random meaningless things so hard that we could easily mess it all up and mistake someone for messiah. On a macro level, sure it says organized religion is no better than a cult that became mainstream. On a subjective level, it says don't spend your days dwelling on snake oil meant to save you from the sufferings of life, just look at the bright side and carry on!
