It's not so much about being religious as it is about being selfish.
As a matter of fact, the more faith you have, the less courage you need.
Take away the islamic context - substitute "The rest of your life" for "eternity", "Penthouse suite at the Honolulu Ritz Carlton" for "paradise," and "Nightly threesomes with hot strippers" for "70 virgins," and you get my meaning - that's the motive. It has nothing to do with courage, IMO.
