Andrew, I also say "thank you for pointing out that article".
But, I don't think Terry will get any grief over it. He knows that gods' address (Dunmanifestin) after all, as well as the power of "narrativium".
I think that most of us, in times of Great Stress, we "revert to what was drummed into us as children". (What that means for children who grow up in an 'atheist' household, I'm not sure)
I get the sense that his answer was more nuanced than the coverage suggests, and various people are using it as the proof of God/Nobodaddy in a rather snide way.
Personally I can think of several reasons why he suddenly felt at ease, nothing to do with 'im upstairs.
