What if find most interesting is how you turn the paradigm of power within religious/biblical thinking on its head. While the religion of your song and say, the religion of someone's faith do extend itself as an explanation of reality, your song tries to extend religion to explain all the hate, "countless plagues, wars and acts of violence" as you said, whereas someone's faith tries to explain all the goodness of the universe into a God. Your interpretation plays on the well known pro-atheistic argument of the failure of Jesus to remove us of sin (clearly as injustice is present more than ever in our world) through either incompetence, or hatred. God is thus neither powerful, nor good, which people of religion seem to claim it both having.
To Pimp a Butterfly trades the 'cinematic' narrative nature with more emphasis universal themes, of black empowerment, racism, equality, hypocrisy, politics, even though it still focuses on his personal problems and fears, but more in the context of these universal themes. The use of context is incredible, with references to Trayvon Martin, Charlie Parker, Tupac, etc. my favourite is u, on a sonical level, but the second half of the track is incredibly sad and personal, though I absolutely love the acapella verse on the album version of 'i' as well.
