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.
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" 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.
