I guess youre right. But still. Nothing motivates people like religion. If someone pointed a gun at my head and said "Deny your religion", I would say "No."
but if someone pointed a gun at me and said "Say you hate America." I would say "America is worse than Nazi Germany, and it would be better for it to be wiped off the earth."
And the revolution doesnt scare me. A MODERN revolution scares me though.
