Well, I don't want to seem to be piling on, but I'm surprised to learn that you thought the generalization that there are no atheists in foxholes was intended to be taken literally. It was simply meant to express that many who denied there was a God were observed to pray earnestly for deliverance when under fire in combat.

You have to remember this about generalizations:

"No generalization is wholly true, not even this one."
