Because they believe that, deep down, everyone is a theist, and will pray when push comes to shove (their life is in danger).

I like the reverse quote, although no one seems to know to whom it should be attributed.

"You will never find a dead Christian in a foxhole who didn't pray." (I'd extrapolate that to Theist instead of Christian.)

Maybe there are no atheists in foxholes because they're too busy fighting?

Some people find it annoying that atheists say that God doesn't exist; what about when atheists deny the existence of things like ghosts? How do you feel then? (Not a loaded question, pure curiosity.)

Do atheists use the term 'Thank god!' ? For example, if their son was finally home after being 3 hours late, do they say "Thank god!" or "Thank god,a being of supernatural powers or attributes,believed in and worshiped by a people,but who doesnt exist!"?

Why do some people say that atheists don't exist?

Athiests, Non Christians, agnostics, undecided: Do you think the saying "there are no atheists in foxholes" is valid? Have you ever prayed in a desperate time? (please respect each other)
