According to the poet, what are"living temples of our God below"?
throught all the heav'ns what beauteous dyes are spread
But the west glories in the deepest red
So may our breasts with ev'ry virtue glow,
The living temples of our god below

Our breasts (or, more properly, our hearts which lie within our breasts) are the living temples of our god.
The last line isn't saying that "our god" is below, but is saying that "the living temples" are below the heavens.

the heavens beauteous dyes might refer to colors at sunset or sunrise. The west glories in the deepest red means the most brilliant colors are at sunset, the sun sets in the west. May our breasts with every virtue glow means may our hearts glow with good virtues as deep as the sunset. The living temples of our god below I believe refers a person or people as in "god created us in his own likeness"?
Hopefully this makes sense to you!!! It's a little hard to explain!

You are the living temple, with God a glow.
