Summary

This quote suggests that even though society may be moving away from religious beliefs, the concept of a higher power or divine being still persists in the way we understand and use language. Grammar provides structure, rules, and order to communication, which parallels the idea of a higher power providing structure, rules, and order to the universe. Therefore, the quote expresses the idea that while people may deny the existence of God, there is still an underlying belief in something beyond the physical world that is reflected in our reliance on language and the structure it provides.
