"Act of god" in it, how does that prove they believe in god?

Well, the insurance contract I signed was filled with plenty of other things I didn't believe either, like "We will do our best to ensure you will be refunded as soon as possible", and "We've been providing realiable service for over 50 years." But I still signed the filthy, lying document...
The reference to God was one of the most believable things on it!

It doesn't. It gives the insurance company an opportunity to wriggle out and it gives the atheist a civil/religious rights opportunity.
I heard of someone who went to the church because of an act of god destroying his car. He said that since the church was god's representative in earth and collected money on his behalf, the church should pay out.
Good theory, but whether it would work in practise is another thing completely.

It doesn't, because the term 'act of god' is used to descibe any event out of the control of humans, like the weather or geological forces, those things historically thought of as entities under the control of God or gods.

It doesn't prove they believe in god. I would fight it in court and say "I don't believe in god, therefore there is no act of said being, give me my money".
