Summary

This quote suggests that it is unlikely to find a person who possesses qualities of being sober, moderate, chaste, and just, yet still denies the existence of God. The speaker implies that a truly disinterested person would at least acknowledge the possibility of God's existence. By stating that such a person is difficult to find, the quote perhaps emphasizes the belief that attributes such as sobriety, moderation, chastity, and justice are typically aligned with a belief in a higher power.
