Exactly right! It will not shake many people’s faith in god, they will believe that they were the chosen ones whom god saved!

Of course they'll say god and praying saved them
Ask them to explain why god created it and the bullshit will be even funnier.

That is the great thing about God, if it does not exist, then you can give it whatever qualities, character and history you want. Its a bit like keeping the president locked in a padded cell where no one can see or speak to him/her , the government agents can then give any reports required, on how exceptionally wise, clever, foresighted and honest he/she is. Especially after the event.

Its a trick used widely by many dictatorships. Just keep the head of state out of sight, and then they can not in any way make a fool of themselves, say stupid things or show that they are not infallible and perfect god like figure they are said to be, but just a fat goofy immoral twit with a bad hair style. (No actual head of state implied by this of course. LOL )
