Why does that matter? The point being raised is that people do die for false beliefs, just by definition, because people have died for mutually exclusive systems of belief.
As to the question itself, no; martyrdom might have some special nobility for the religious, but the smart people find ways to retain their ideals while remaining alive to hold them and affect change on behalf of them.
