I guess it must happen somewhere sometimes...but, ideally, that shit gets handled before or after action.
We are ever thinking, though, aren't we? It's quite possible to pray while physically moving, or to be praying in a manner that no one can perceive.
I would think so, but it doesn't really fit the setup. Where some storm rolls in and suddenly you'd see atheists praying to gods. It's a fantasy about dramatic and sudden conversions affirming their worldviews, not entirely unlike the fantasies in gospels and acts. Even the choice of a storm calls back to a thematically important story about the time god-man booked a three hour tour on the ss minnow.
