The statement 'I'm not sure atheism can exist' is part of a broader conversation about the role of religion and ideology in public discourse. It questions the concept of atheism, potentially challenging the validity of non-religious perspectives. This engages with public issues related to religious belief, secularism, and ideological divides.
