I’ve never known anyone like that. Religious Insurance Policy is Pascal’s wager by another name. It doesn’t work. The problem is that a sincere belief in God is all but impossible to muster. For instance, could you ever make yourself genuinely believe in leprechauns, no matter how badly you wanted to do it?

Of course, the other problem with Pascal’s Wager is which deity to place your bet on. What if it’s Ahura Mazda, Allah, or Odin and not Yahweh?
