Okay I think I found a better avenue for this. Trying to use non-faith-based logic doesn't really work when you're trying to explain it against a faith-based mindset.
Just think about this real-life biological phenomenon. When you are close to dying, or you see someone you love close to dying, what do you do? You don't just sit there and go "welp it's my/their time now" and take it. No, your body involuntarily gets hyper-charged with ridiculous amounts of adrenaline and mental will-power to try to keep you alive as well as possible. This is a purely biological response that happens to EVERY human. If you needed some sort of religion to care about your life, then why are you biologically pre-disposed to caring about life? It makes no sense.
