One of the main tenets of certain religions, such as Christianity and Islam, is that if a person is killed for his faith that he gets to go to the head of the line to get into heaven or paradise.
According to the biblical fairy tale a magic number of Christians must be killed before Jesus returns. And if they are killed because of their faith their souls are kept under the altar and they are given white robes.
In Islam if a person dies as a martyr he gets to intercede on behalf of 70 of his buddies on Judgment Day.
So in Christianity the reward for being killed for one's faith is rather selfish since it just benefits the person killed.
In Islam being killed for one's faith is altruistic because up to 70 other people can benefit from one person's death.
They are both death cults.
