Belief in God is consequential.
If there is a field, where there are previously laid landmines how might someone that might be tasked with clearing the landmines think?
If I believe in God, an afterlife, Heaven for doing good, then I am potentially more likely to sign up for clearing landmines, than if I believe this life is all we have.
Promise of Afterlife, utility in Afterlife is consequential.
If someone is taught that they will be rewarded with Paradise for going to War, they might sign up for a terrorist group. Early decisions matter, head starts divesting matter. Someone that knows they won’t get 72 virgins for committing acts of terrorism in advance, or someone that thinks jihad might lead to Paradise signs up, then once they have a suicide bomb vest attached and their family leveraged by terrorists are unable to divest (can’t rethink when evil leaders could make a call and remotely detonate). Thus divesting from the idea terrorism and jihad will lead to Paradise in advance is both important and consequential.
Advancement is the right directions in advance matter, far from ideally invested in, could save lives of loved ones, prevent the need for militaries laying landmines in the first place.
