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.
