Sorry to get weirdly serious on a shitpost, but I don't know if a concept does cease to exist just because you're currently not thinking about it.
That's partly the theme of the novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, which argues--in quite a lovely way--that ideas have a life of their own. No one remembers Addie, and yet she still leaves marks on the world.
Anyway, have an upvote cause Ralph made me laugh, then overthink.
Does God cease to exist, when there are no believers anymore that keep thinking of the concept?
It should follow the same logic.
