I'm an atheist, and I doubt I could get away with that. If I tried to sue and take this to court, the court would go in favor of the insurance company because they're all God-fearing people, and I'm some sad heathen. And then
I'd be sued for damages.

Why isn't it act of nature or something?
However if we work backwards... Assuming that 'God' acts in the world, then everything is an act of God. Therefore your insurance policy is in effect, useless... |
Greg, if I had to go through this, I think I'll quote you.
Unfortunately, I can only see how it could be used against me. "If the plaintiff does not believe in God, then how do we know he is telling the truth? He swore on the Bible--to God--he would tell the truth, but by his own statement, he does not believe in God. If he does not believe, then we have no reason to trust anything he says." Like everyone who swears on the Bible tells the truth anyway.
But you get the point.
It's true. I could claim that my VCR ate the rented VHS, and the VCR broke and destroyed the tape. I could claim it was an act of God. Then I'd never have to return the porno! Er, or something like that.
