whilst it is easy to understand how someone would die or kill for something they strongly believe, how likely it is that someone would die or kill for something in which they do not believe?

And, as my maths teacher used to say, please show your working.

You're right it is highly unlikely for someone to die for something they don't believe in, however since we are talking killing it doesn't take much to see that if one doesn't believe in consequences then one tends to do whatever they wish.

Nice try but think that through.

Perhaps it's a case of believing that there are no consequences?
