Understanding this quote
The sentence places a religious expression of thanks next to a denial of religious belief. Its meaning comes from that contradiction: the speaker says “Thank God” while claiming to be an atheist, making the statement sound deliberately paradoxical. The wording treats atheism as something to be grateful for, even though the person named as the source of that gift is not believed to exist.
