When we're hit with a crises every Jew, Christian, Atheist, Secularist, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Communist turns to God for relief .

Listen up, mister... thingy. An atheist is me, secular humanist if you prefer, and when the shit hits the fan, I know in my heart I'm as likely to get help from fictional characters from a story I wrote myself, as from this god of yours. And why is communists in that row anyways? It just doesn't make sense. "One thing not quite like the other"
Anyways, short version: YOU PHAIL
I turn to RolAids for relief.
g0d hasn't done anything since the mythical flood, if you have been paying any attention.
Since the mythical flood was a mythical crisis in itself, perpetrated by g0d himself, it doesn't really follow that g0d will provide any relief to anyone, mythical or not.
Personally, as an agnostic, I look within. I find groveling to some divine Ant Farmer for strength to be a touch degrading. If he's real, he's equipped me for everything from the get go, and if not, it hasn't failed me yet.
Every Jew turns to Yaweh or Elohim, every Christian turns to God or Jesus, every atheist doesn't turn to anything, any secularists turns to whatever he believes in, any muslim turns to Allah, every Hindu to one of the million gods they have and every buddist to the celestial power. Concerning communist, they just hope that the people will solve the situation. You see?, we're not that different(sarcasm)
Except for the atheists and Buddhists.
communism is not a religion, so they turn to whoever.
Secularists may or may not have a religion, but they don't make a big deal about it in public, so they turn to whoever.
When I'm sick, I go to a doctor.
If I needed legal advice, I'd go to a lawyer.
If I needed law enforcement help, I'd call the police.
When my pipes burst, I call a plumber.
None of these people are god. Unlike your god, they can and will provide practical help.
OK, I might have turned to God for help when I learned I would loose my job (I was shocked and willing to try anything and everything). But as I'm now unemployed, it didn't work that well, did it? I didn't really think it would.

If a catastrophe happens, with those caught up in such, the last thing they want at that point in time is a hand-job from an invisible sky fairy. I think you should have reworded what you stated, oneabdi.
/mucky mind
Your statement would have a point for atheists(closeted ones?), and maybe secularist(whatever it means)and communists. Regarding the others, I think they pretty much turn to God, with another name, though.
Short answer: No they don't.
Long answer: Every religion that has their own God turns to that God, and those that don't have religion don't turn to any God at all.

And it's funny now nothing gets done until regular people down here in reality-land do it. Why is that again?

Not true.
The closest i’ve gome to prayer in the last 44 years is a drill command. In formation, the Chaplain says, “LEt Us Pray” and that’s a command to tilt our heads. No need to acknowledge any celestial being, just hold the position until ‘Amen’ commands you back to Attention or Parade Rest or whatever.
I don’t pray for succor when the car skids on black ice, or when tRump pulls head in the polls, or when the ocean is flowing into the submarine without limit. I also don’t cry for Mommy.
LOTS of guys that get wounded up in combat cry out to mommy instead of God. It’s about as rational, hoping an omniscient being who knew they were going to get hit by that shrapnel, and did fuck all, will fly down and fix the sucking chest wound OR mommy will kiss the booboo from six time zones away.
The sad part is that THEY cry out from a fear reaction, in pain and panic. You flog this arrogant bluster from a sober state.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
