No, they should charge them the normal rate and give an "atheism discount. " I'd save a buttload on car insurance.

Maybe they should charge you more for lack of brain activity.

Fireball: tell your insurance company that you are an 18 year old male driving a red porsche. Ask for a quote. Then call again and tell them you are a 40 year old female university professor driving a volvo. Compare. Given the lack of past experience with the rapture I doubt the insurance companies can come up with some estimate in risk. Given that the majority in the US claims to be christian, isn't the likelyhood great that a driverless car just hits another driverless car? And both owners aren't around going to claim compensation.

If you look at the parable of the wheat and the tares, in mathew, the non beleivers will be taken first. so, an answer to your question, the non beleivers should have higher insurance rates becuase they will be gone first..........larry

That or an exclusion clause. "In case of rapture, this car's collision coverage is cancelled. "

Actually they shouldn't be allowed to drive at all.. They should also never be airplane pilots or boat captains, or railroad engineers, surgeons, etc....

I suppose they could... But, when the rapture occurs and all the accidents happen because of dissappearing believers, all the Christian stockholders and/ or executive would be gone and wouldn't have to deal with the loss of profits, and everyone else would have a lot more to worry about... Plus, way to drive away a huge chunk of the market... ;)
