teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It's not for nothing that I point out that WW1 was the beginning of atheism as a mass movement in Europe.

Eventually someone managed to get to me with a rope, but asking gods for help... never crossed my mind, not once

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! 
I've had multiple heart surgeries, a prayer never passed my lips.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

If I ever saw a man next to me praying to a god to save him I'd box him over the ears until he came back to his senses and picked up his weapon...but here's the thing..I never did. Never once did I see a christian soldier praying to god when he should be working for uncle sam. I guess it must happen somewhere sometimes...but, ideally, that shit gets handled before or after action.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's quite possible to pray while physically moving, or to be praying in a manner that no one can perceive.
