Reverend William T. Cummings, who served at Bataan, is famous for declaring "There are no atheists in foxholes."[1] In addition, Lieutenant Colonel Warren J. Clear, who also served at Bataan, used the expression in an interview printed in U.S. newspapers in the middle of April.[1]

Chaplain F.W. Lawson of the 302d Machine Gun Battalion, who was wounded twice in wartime, declared "I doubt if there is such a thing as an atheist. At least there isn't in a front line trench."[1] Henry More wrote: "In agony or danger, no nature is atheist. The mind that knows not what to fly to, flies to God."[2] On the other hand, the news organization MSNBC featured a story in which atheist veterans claimed that there are atheists in foxholes.[3]
