I think that it's probably got something to do with the fact that....

...what makes you less scared, of killing yourself for such an act (and most motivated to) than not only believing with utmost "Faith" that you will survive it and be reborn...but that you'll also go to Heaven for it, and a Martyr's Heaven in particular where, what you did is 'the righteous thing'?!

Religion seems to be pretty much exclusive when it comes to believing (and so strongly so) that you will go to heaven for such acts, and that it's righteous to do so.
