How about you try switching this around, citizen?
Would you die for your religious beliefs?
I know I would not!!
Let atheism DIE!! If I had to root for its death, or act like I am a believer when I am not in order to survive then I would become the most cowardly cheerleader for the destruction of atheism this side of belief.
That is a difference between believers and non-believer. Believers have a belief they feel must be defended. Non-believers laugh at the notion at defending non-belief. The question will morph into "Is it my pride or ego that I am defending?" Beccause there is nothing to defend in agnosticism nor atheism, and, if anything, debate(or theological attacks) should be welcomed.
I have no interest in harming Anyone for what They believe or refuse to Believe. There are things in this Life that are not worth surviving. That is not a matter of belief, but recognition, and yes it is individual. What You could be advocating is that Control Over Others, where Merritt is lost, is a bad and dangerous thing. Action causes the harm. Believe what You will. Do No Harm.
I like what you're saying here, but I am curious. Do you see a difference between recognizing there are things not worth surviving and believing there are things worth sacrificing for? It seems to me anyway like one is based on self and the other is based on selflessness.
And to answer the question, yes there are things worth dying for. Or rather, people and ideas worth dying for. I don't put much stock in "things" - although I doubt the OP meant material items when he wrote that.
