LMAO
One of my high-school/college buddies served in Iraq. He was, literally, one of the guys going door-to-door searching for combatants. An incredibly dangerous job, one which, thankfully, he made it back from fully intact. He was an atheist when I met him and is an atheist now.
That saying is as laughable as it is insulting. No, atheists aren't 'faking it'. No, atheists don't lack conviction. No, you are not somehow superior to atheists because you believe in an imaginary friend. Get the fuck out of here with that weak shit, and get over yourself.
Let me put it another way- atheists can be great soldiers, but maybe they'd be even greater if they'd let God watch their backs?
It's a power thing..

"Our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with POWER.."- 1 Thess 1:5
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of POWER"- 2 Tim 1:7
"I am full of POWER, judgement and might by the spirit of the Lord"- Micah 3:8
"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world...they have divine POWER to demolish strongholds"- 2 Cor 10:4
"Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty POWER" (Ephesians 6:10)
God said- "Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath..they come from faraway lands..to destroy the whole country..and destroy the sinners within it" (Isaiah ch 13)
