no, the saying is an aphorism used to argue that in times of extreme stress or fear, such as when participating in warfare, all people will believe in or hope for a higher power.

Well, I'm sure people would hope for a higher power, whether or not they'd believe in a higher power or not is the question, I doubt coming close to death would make you a believer but rather a hoper!!

Well atheism is virtually nonexistant in third world countries and the few people who don't follow God there are probably not poor.
