Summary

This quote, attributed to the author Stephen Roberts, suggests that regardless of one's belief system, we are essentially all atheists to a certain extent. The speaker argues that they simply believe in one less god than someone else, implying that they do not acknowledge the existence of a specific deity. By encouraging the listener to reflect upon their own skepticism towards other gods, the quote asserts that dismissing one god is no different from dismissing any other. In essence, it highlights the subjectivity and personal choice involved in religious beliefs and challenges the listener to question the validity of their own faith.
