Here is Maynard explaining what you quoted. He does not mean in the literal sense. He's more against organized religion and how people have twisted it to create control.

Do you believe that every anon considers the Bible to be a perfectly translated source containing the original teachings of Jesus, and that it hasn't been corrupted — that it stands alone as the only thing in the world that has remained untouched by corruption?

Anyways, this is probably not even worth debating here.

"Judith" tells the story of a man who's bitter and pissed off because his saint of a mother who's been a pillar of faith her entire life had a stroke that left her paralyzed and broken down. Yet she still turns to faith even though her "god" allowed it to happen to her, And he doesn't understand why.

It's about Maynard questioning her beliefs.

When you compare his attitude towards his mothers beliefs in Judith, juxtaposed to 10,000 days(Wings pt 1 and 2) where it eulogizes her in a way that sounds like he came to terms with her faith and praises her for it.

Lyrics:

High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground.

You were the light and the way they'll only read about.

I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out.

Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough;

You're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,

Shake your fists at the gates saying:

"I have come home now!

Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.

Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.

It's time now!

My time now!

Give me my, give me my wings!
