You're not alone. The lyrics tell a tale of hedonism, but because of the pretty melody and religious imagery, people somehow think it's uplifting? It's blasphemous and cursed according to the ideal that many mistakenly attribute the song to.
I'm not saying people can't enjoy media that uses religious influences in ways contrary to their original purpose. My point is that a line gets crossed when the intent is to create something that's not respectful and people somehow misinterpret it as an endorsement.
