With regards to the statement that there is no such thing as a true atheist,
I must point out that while a person "in a foxhole", as you put it, may well
exclaim "God help me!", but that this is a result of the society he grew up
in rather than any particular religious belief. A person who has no fear of 
death will be able to get through his entire life without mentioning any god
at all. 
I could also go on to point out the illogic of an omnipotent god's existence
because of the multiplicity of such religions, but it is impossible to argue
against faith, which is essentially illogical.
