If you go to a solicitor and say 'God doesn't exist then how can there be an act of God.' Can you claim on your insurance and get your money back?
Answer by Billy Blaze
It's just a euphemism for a natural event that the insured was powerless to prevent.
Answer by flossie
The term "Act of God" has in all reality been replaced by "Force Majeure".
An act which could not have reasonably been foreseen as this site puts it.

An "act of god" is a term that is defined by law and is just a term meaning that the event or situation was natural and out of any reasonable human control. You don't have to believe in God to use the term. Think of it in a legal way and not a religious way. There's no religious association with the legal term. To answer your question, no, the insurance will use the term regardless of whether you don't like it or if you're an atheist.
