I heard, there are no atheists in fox holes, is this true?

The idea behind this is that when faced with a life and death situation (i.e. a foxhole with people shooting at you), people usually will pray to "whatever God may be listening" just to stay alive.  This is true because people see that their belief that there is no God simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny when your back is against the wall.

This is Religion and Spirituality.  If you have no religion you have no business being here.  That means no atheists unless you are finally willing to declare Athiesm a religion!

I agree with you Tory.\n\nThis situation is getting nuts all over because of a handful of people.\n\nMy sister teaches at a CATHOLIC school. She had her class make Easter Cards for their parents with religious pix from old Christmas cards, etc. and had them hang them on the wall.\n\nThe principal had her TAKE THEM DOWN because they were 'religious'!!!  \nAnd there were non-Catholic kids in the school!!??\nHello?? What is wrong with THAT picture?\n\nMy opinion with the Atheists....\nthey want every 'God' related word removed from our history, buildings, etc.\n\nWhat they fail to realize is their belief of non-belief is also represented -\non government buildings....any blank spot or wall ...\nrepresents the Atheist.\non our currency....the white blank border.....\nrepresents the Atheist.\nWhen we are finished saying our "Pledge of Allegiance" under Our God and we are silent for the 30 seconds following...that is for the Atheist!!\n\nGet my drift?\n\nTheir non-belief \nis very much represented \nin our Government!!

There is a huge amount of evidence proving that the god of Abraham, and the bible, as it's written, is nonsense.\n\nIf you don't know about this evidence, or choose to ignore it, or try to fit it back into the mold of your bible, then I can't help you.  You just need a reality check.\n\nIs there proof that there is no God of any kind?  No.  There is also no proof that there is no Santa Claus.  I don't believe in him, either.  But regardless, god or not, none of us atheists would have a problem with you believing in him, as long as you didn't profess to KNOW what God wants and/or commands, and then try to push your nonsense on the rest of us by passing laws and electing officials who are equally deranged.\n\nIf you would get out of our lives, we could care less what sort of hocus pocus you practice.  But since you won't get out of our lives, that's why we come after you, to try to educate you.  And trust me, we don't want to, brother... And we shouldn't have to.  Unfortunately, it's our burden for right now.

Yes! As a Navy verteran, I was a speaker at the Atheists in Foxholes rally last year in Washington DC. Please check out the link for details. You can see some pics of me speaking at the National Press Club, taken by Timothy Dicks.

My best friend is an atheist. He doesn't claim to be spiritual. Actually, I have never met an atheiist who claimed to be spiritual.

No. God is forever. Atheists are whatever.

I'm guilty of looking for people who agree with me, it's true.  Sometimes it's lonely being an atheist; there aren't many of us.\n\nBut sometimes I get a pleasant surprise when someone who disagrees with me posts an answer (or question) that really makes me think.  You never know who you're gonna meet on a board like this one.

Yes, people whose world-view is free from supernatural deities are under-represented because they don't tend to form big groups to lobby and influence government. \n\nAlso theres the herd of sheep thing (religious) and then there's the herd of cats thing ("non-believers"). They just don't tend to belong to groups whereas religious have church groups etc.\n\nYou could check out the brights, they are an online constituency for people who are not deists, including agnostics, atheists, humanists, and anybody with a naturalistic world-view free from things supernatural and mystical, The brights are a first step to more representation for "non-believers".

Freedom of speech just like You are demonstrating here, and We are demonstrating back.  Hopefully People would pray for You.  If They are strong in Their beliefs, Their faith, You wouldn't be anything more than a temporary distraction.\nIt wouldn't be loitering, but it might be tress passing, depending on if the People's yard You were standing in didn't want You there.  Lots of Church's are by houses.\n\nWhy, are there People standing by Your house holding signs that read There is a God, and  an afterlife, so get with the program?

"Atheists want everyone to be atheists"\n\nThat's not entirely true.  Atheists are fine with people observing their faith.  What they DON'T want is for fairy tales to be taught in school, and illogical laws and bad legislation enacted for no reason other than "it's what Jesus would have wanted".

"KatzPlace" ~ come-on now!! There just has to be church-goers who actually do go to church, otherwise there wouldn't be any church-goers. I mean the term CHURCH-GOERS wouldn't exist, if there weren't any.

YES HE DID!\n Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are atheists?\n\nBush: I guess I'm pretty weak in the atheist community. Faith in God is important to me.\n\nSherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?\n\nBush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.\n\nSherman (somewhat taken aback): Do you support as a sound constitutional principle the separation of state and church?\n\nBush: Yes, I support the separation of church and state. I'm just not very high on atheists.\n \nSherman: American Atheists filed the Pledge of Allegiance lawsuit yesterday. Does the Bush campaign have an official response to this filing?\n\nMurnane: It's bullshit.\n\nSherman: What is bullshit?\n\nMurnane: Everything that American Atheists does, Rob, is bullshit.\n\nSherman: Thank you for telling me what the official position of the Bush campaign is on this issue.\n\nMurnane: You're welcome\nhttp://www.positiveatheism.org/writ/ghwbush.htm

There's lots of atheists and "no religious preference" members of the military.  \n\n""About 0.1 percent of all American military personnel officially declare themselves to be atheists.\n\nThat doesn't mean, however, that all service members belong to a particular religious denomination. About 27 percent do not volunteer to have a specific religious preference inscribed on their dog tags""
