Summary

This quote suggests that in some circumstances, it may be preferable for a believer to die rather than an atheist. The explanation behind this statement largely depends on the context and personal beliefs of the individual making it. It could reflect extreme religious views where the salvation of a believer is considered more valuable than the life or belief system of an atheist. However, it is important to note that such a statement does not correspond to the principles of inclusivity, respect for human life, and religious freedom that many societies strive to promote.
