Summary

This quote suggests that people who strongly argue against the existence of God often ironically end up discussing God more frequently than those who believe in God. It implies that those who deny God's existence feel a need to constantly voice their dissent, possibly in response to criticism or societal pressure, ultimately giving significant attention to the topic they claim to reject. The quote highlights a perceived contradiction in the behavior of atheists, pointing out their continual engagement with a concept they profess to reject.
