religious war sacrifice
I regard the state of which I am a citizen as a public utility, like the organization that supplies me with water, gas, and electricity.

But I do not feel that I and my fellow citizens have a religious duty to sacrifice our lives in war on behalf of our own state, and, a fortiori, I do not feel that we have an obligation or a right to kill and maim citizens of other states or to devastate their land. Arnold J. Toynbee
