Well I think that there is definitely a recognition in the song that the coupling of man and woman at its best is also a holy religious coupling. Hallelujah isn't just a word tossed in there as a metaphor for 'something worthy of praise' or whatever. Hallelujah does have a religious meaning in the song, i just dont think it is so literal as having god as a third character in the narrative that is getting praise. I'd say your last stanza, if I had to fit it into my interpretation, could even provide the reason everything fell apart. He 'couldnt feel' yet he 'tried to touch'. So he was lacking the feeling and emotional foundation for a perfect union, yet despite this, he tried to touch anyway, almost like he was trying to find god VIA woman. This of course, was the wrong motive both for the relationship and for his faith, and it all went wrong.
