Summary

This quote humorously captures the idea that adopting atheism might lack the sense of community and celebration typically associated with religious holidays. It suggests that the absence of religious beliefs can leave individuals without specific occasions or rituals to bond over or commemorate collectively. The statement could be interpreted as a lighthearted reflection on the human need for shared experiences and the sociocultural significance of religious festivities.
