== The endurance of the saying "There are no atheists in foxholes" ==
''See also:'' [[There Are No Atheists In Foxholes|There are no atheists in foxholes]] and [[Atheists and the endurance of religion]]
The testimonials of people who claim to have been atheists in foxholes is unconvincing to many and the phrase "[[There Are No Atheists In Foxholes|There are no atheists in foxholes]]" remains to be a popular and enduring saying.
There are several reasons for this occuring: 1) A very significant portion of the population [[Distrust of atheists|distrusts atheists]] and therefore individuals claiming to have been atheists in foxholes is unconvincing to many 2) There are [[Denials that atheists exist|denials that atheists even exists]]. 3) Many atheists reject testimonial evidence as a form of valid evidence. Many atheists, such as many [[New Atheism|new atheists]], only accept [[scientific evidence]] as a valid form of evidence<ref>[https://www.iep.utm.edu/n-athxxx/ The New Atheists], Internet Enclopedia of Philisophy</ref> and reject testimonial evidence (See: [[Atheism and evidence]]). Therefore, using their "logic", these atheists cannot convincingly argue using testimonial evidence that atheists have been in foxholes.
