One very important person died in the name of religion....
And they just happened to catch it on tape:

If the answer is more than one, then that religion is probably not worth getting killed over. I think the Buddists might have the right idea. Don't see many Buds smiting unbelivers (christians) or suicide buds (muslims).
Dying in the name of a fictious character...worthless...
Dying in the name of something worthwhile (freedom, family)...priceless!!
Dieing in the name of religion is such a waste. Because if there was some grand ietitiy, it would be way beyond us in thought. For some denomination to pick up the sword would be a god in human clothing....Just isn't that way, in my view........That would be a lesser man made god for sure....One that kills to add to him self.
"Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven." - Mark Twain
