There is a very old story seeped in symbolism, and if most people understood that the ceremony of the merkevah ("moving Throne" or "chariot") , they would understand that the kabbalah (a weird book, I know) means discovering that the heavenly throne is empty.
So four very religious leaders do the ceremeny of the merkevah together, and, according to an old Jewish Midrash, they all withness the result of this ceremony. So how does each one deal with the fact that there is no god?
One dies because of it. One goes insane. One speaks out "There is no God", and the other remained unaffected (Rabbi Akiva, the most militant of the 4 who would lead a religious war that would fail).
Different people deal with the truth differently. You either ignore it, resist it , or you just state the truth as you saw and live with it.
