Dawkins is stating that while "atheism" is often seen as a dirty word, religious people are also atheists, in a sense, because even if they have faith in one god, they don't believe in other gods. This quote is from Dawkins' 2002 TED Talk on atheism. Watch the full TED Talk here: Richard Dawkins - Militant Atheism
