RE: How Quaint and a revisit of the Atheist Wager
To put a little different spin on this than VnutZ did, let me also point out that one of the indicators of whether the trust is well-placed ought to be whether the candidate is really in a position to have real knowledge on the issue.
When you're facing a medical decision, you trust doctors you barely know much more than your best friend who has no medical training.
When the question is "what the gods want", it might be useful to consult a clergyman - they spend their time trying to figure that out. But if the question is "do the gods exist", they're a waste of time. They assume it to be true and work from there. You're better off asking a physicist - their lives are about studying the nature of reality.
