I like this for its mystery - to which [G]od does it, and what people does "they," refer (since the speaker is describing the deity of some other group)? It could even be argued that "their" deity is Science, which is tolerant of "mistakes" as no other is. Though it might be argued, against current practice, that like Catholicism Science requires confession of error and humility as to its possibility.
The meter's a little jagged and the rhyme slightly forced, but this is not inappropriate for the subject. It could even be taken as a "grass is greener" envious look at a different religion that seems more forgiving, or a complaint that someone's not taking terrorism seriously.
Anyway, I like it. Regulating the meter might or might not be worth considering.
