Although now that I look at the graph again, I can see the graph's creator intended meaning for each situation. And it's no longer funny to me.

This very much does represent the typical mind set that believing in a god is the default and therefore no matter what a person says they feel, deep down, they are just theists. @CathyLong: Well stated.

This is the same as the statement that no one is an atheist in a fox hole. But several of my friends who are atheists who are in the military and have spent some time in unpleasant situations said it wasn't true. So in my mind, this graph and it's humor apply to people who are really agnostics.

I have a friend (who is also an atheist) who once got out of a speeding ticket for going twice the speed limit by making a very obvious Christian gesture (the thing where you move your hand around your chest), having Boy Scout stuff with him, and apologizing a lot. Oh, and if I was doing something I wouldn't want to be bothered while doing, I would probably "believe in god" for a short while in order to avoid arguments.
