What on earth makes you think this? Perhaps you only meant that the atheist and the theist are looking at different "bigger pictures". Not that the picture seems to have any effect of a persons ability to sacrifice. There are atheists in foxholes after all...
Go to Arlington, find an MOH headstone without a cross or a star of david on it. There you are. Some poor motherfucker sacrificed his godless life, most likely so that someone could one day claim that theists can sacrifice their lives in a way that atheists "just can't match".


Getting killed with a gun in your hand isn't sacrificing your life.
It just means that the guy you wanted to kill.was a better aim than you.
