While the above sounds simplistic, I believe that what I mean to say is that these discussions are all well and good.

But, when you find yourself on your deathbed, or in imminent danger of losing your life, or a loved ones life, will you be able to keep yourselves from crying out to a God, or any diety/higher power to be spared? Will your agnostic/athiestic beliefs hold up?
It seems that that this is religious propaganda. See for example:
