I’m not really sure what you are trying to convey? Let me simply ask: do you agree that only those who believe in God/god and an afterlife are superior, and more valiant warriors than those who do not hope in God/god nor an afterlife? Simple yes or no should suffice.
This is about a dear very close friend, an atheist, (he's passed on now) who was in the heat of the Vietnam Tet offense in 1968. Only once when pretty high on the Weed did I ever hear from any of his experience. Usually he was pretty mum about that whole thing. And never once in sharing his experienced did God or belief in God ever come up. What he did talk about which hit his soul that stayed with him is looking into the eyes of other human beings (they were that close and a lot of them) as he shot them before they shot him. As he told the story, staying alive was the ONLY thing he was focused on.
Can you expand on that please, or perhaps I mean clarify. Is "more" religion more diversity of religion, more followers of religion, more commitment to following religion and so on? These are all quite different and would be expected to have different effects. (And there are likely to be more possible "mores").
That’s basically what bravery and self sacrifice is. It’s a shame that some people need to have the thought of an after life to act brave.
