Summary

This quote suggests that many people mistakenly believe that their behavior is dependent on their beliefs. It implies that once someone stops believing in something, they might also stop acting according to moral standards or societal norms. However, it highlights a "terrible misunderstanding" because it disregards the possibility that individuals can still uphold ethical behavior and make responsible choices independently from their beliefs. The quote exposes the fallacy of assuming that belief is the sole determinant for behavior, emphasizing the importance of personal accountability and reason.
