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

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!!

I agree. I think it is an instinctive reaction to the fear of death! One I guess we can never fully appreciate until that time comes!

I got married in a church, the reason was nothing to do with God though, at the time in Ireland you could only get married in a church or a registry office and the thought of getting married in a registry office isn't very appealing, Churches are prettier and I like that gothic feel!
