The protagonist is expressing their independence from religion and the expectations of others. They reject the idea of needing prayers, sympathy, or protection from a higher power. They also reject the idea of needing empathy or saving from others. They believe that fortune and fame, as well as torture and shame, all come together and that these things go hand in hand. They emphasize that they don't want to be judged or saved by others, and they refuse to conform to societal norms and religious beliefs. They see religion as an excuse and believe that it blinds people and takes away their dreams.
