Am I allowed to turn my truck onto the tracks and race toward the oncoming train, sacrificing my life to save all 104 people?
If so, then... great!
Otherwise... given the elaboration you later provided, I would probably save the family in the van, not because they're Christians but because my winch could haul a van with four people in it but not a school bus with 100 people in it. I wish you had've arranged a different scenario, because until I saw the elaboration my first response to your original post was to save the 100 over the 4; like padraic, their beliefs are irrelevant to me.

called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
