The Danger of Practical Atheism
Commentators like Calvin and Spurgeon explain that the wicked in this verse display a "practical atheism." They may not deny God's existence with their lips, but their unjust actions reveal a core belief that God is blind, indifferent, and will not hold them accountable. This mindset, acting as if God doesn't see or care, is described as the root of their brazen sin.
