would have a harder job dying for a belief-- an ideal, or philosophy, no matter how deeply held.

I'm not so sure... isn't the idea that people are worth dying for part of a belief/philosophy?

It's a tricky question for the religious generally - many have had the experience of being filled by something far bigger and braver than themselves. Christian's specifically are told not to worry about this issue because that will happen.

I don't know if it was intentional, but it was perfectly delivered...
