Summary

This quote points out a common misconception among many people. It suggests that there is an assumption that once someone stops believing in something, they will stop acting in accordance with it. However, the quote questions this notion, implying that belief and behavior are not always directly linked. It implies that even if one's beliefs change or diminish, their outward actions may not inherently follow suit. Thus, it highlights the complexity and autonomy of human behavior, emphasizing that it is not solely determined by their beliefs.
