"There are no atheists in foxholes"

"There are no atheists in foxholes" is an aphorism used to suggest that times of extreme stress or fear can prompt belief in a higher power.[1] In the context of actual warfare, such a sudden change in belief has been called a foxhole conversion. The logic of the argument is also used to argue for the opposite.

Bullocks. You’re distorting it. An Atheist say they don’t believe in god or gods, that’s not a claim on the existence of either. Nothing to prove. Actually saying there is no god is a claim. But of course, you can’t disprove something that’s never been proven in the first place.
