Interesting question!
In some ways I can see it being a motivation, that you're fighting for something "greater". (How anyone can believe in God while fighting in a war is beyond me though. Their God is either pathetic or sadistic to allow wars to happen at all.)
Not being scared to die could work both ways, it could provide extra confidence but also makes you undervalue your life and your importance in the fight. This is me being an armchair quarterback though, I've never been involved in any conflict and I'm just speculating.
One very real problem I've heard about before is people stopping to pray when situations get dire.
