It's an "I'm better than you" mentality.

Yes, better than someone. Just like the song "Holier Than Thou" by Metallica being referred to is about gossip, rumors or even just about critics; at the same time, it portrays people who say one thing and do another, hypocrites in other words.

Usually when people refer to someone being holier than thou they mean that the person thinks they are holier than God. They are usually self-righteous pukes.

Traditionally, that you are better because you are "closer to god", or a better christian.
in popular terminology, it just means "i'm better because i'm better".
