The verse isn't very specific. It's quite possible that Christians by and large don't understand, and atheists by and large do. It's Christian hubris that assumes that they qualify as holy in the eyes of their god.

Just speaking for myself, I've known quite a few wicked Christians, and as far as atheists go... they've been less wicked on average compared to the Christians.
