The expression reflects the viewpoint of the religious that in times of extreme stress or danger atheists will drop their "pretend" position that there is no god and come crawling back to him seeking protection.
A counter position could be "Only atheists hide in foxholes" as believers know that the arm of the lord will protect them and there is no need to seek safety while they do their their "good" works on the battlefield..
