If another Holy Crusade started or a prophet said that God said to, would you/could you kill people who refused to believe in your religion?
Would you die for you religion?
Please dont just say Yes, think about this and answer truthfully.
If you where told by your religious leaders to kill thousands or millions of innocent people, could you do it? Could you kill a woman? could you kill a teenager? could you kill a child? could you kill your own family or friends if it was commanded of you by a prophet or by God?
I might not have a choice in regard to dying for my religion....the person trying to kill me would make that choice,and i would defend myself to the best of my ability.I wouldnt follow a religion that advocated killing those who dont believe as i do.

You are describing a cult something along the lines of Charles Manson.
As an atheist, I would never kill in the name of it, doing this would be the ultimate hypocrisy. One main reason I am against not religious is because of violence in the name of it, which I deem as unacceptable in all circumstances. If I were to kill to advance atheism, I would be no better than an insane Muslim/Christian. In fact, I don't really care if atheism really progresses in the future as long as religion stays out of my government and life, but if atheism does end up taking the majority in the future (irreligion is growing rapidly) I would prefer if some believed just for the fun of the debate.

I'm an atheist, and I certainly wouldn't kill anyone over my beliefs. I leave that to you religious folks.
I certainly wouldn't kill for or in the name of my beliefs (or non-belief), but I would fight back with anyone who truly tried to attack my culture at gunpoint.
Hell, I can't even bring myself to kill most bugs ! Killing things is creepy, unless it's for self defense. Think : Kwai Chang Caine. I don't think he or the Lone Ranger ever Killed anyone, and certainly not for the evil sky daddy's order to do so.
