Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of "God" is gradually losing its influence and power. It compares God to the elusive and enigmatic Cheshire cat from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", implying that just like the fading smile of the cat, God's presence and significance are diminishing. The phrase "operationally" implies that the idea of God is becoming less relevant and practical in our day-to-day lives, hinting at the growing skepticism or disbelief in organized religion and the traditional understanding of God's role in the universe.
