I'm sure Herbert Xu would sooner die than do this.  Millions of people
throughout history have given up their lives (and those of others) in
the name of their irrational religions; I don't think we can expect
human nature to change now.

Still, I wouldn't dream of discouraging you from trying.  Even the
Catholic Church came around to the notion that Earth goes around the
Sun, a few hundred years after burning Giordano Bruno at the stake for
espousing the same notion.
