The Golden Rule is an ethical code that states one has a right to just treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others. There are many religions that somehow use this rule. For example Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greek, philosophy, Buddhism, Baha'i Faith, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, and Taoism. So somehow there is a string that can be linked to each religion.

I found a book called Jesus Freaks by dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs. It is about martyrdom, containing dozens of profiles of figures ranging from Stephen, whose martyrdom is described in the Book of Acts, to "Anila and Perveen," two teenage Pakistani girls and Christian believers. In 1997, Perveen was killed for running away in order to avoid marrying a Muslim man; Anila was imprisoned for helping her friend escape. In an introduction to the book, Michael Tait explains its purpose: "In a world built on free will instead of God's will, we must be the Freaks. While we may not be called to martyr our lives, we must martyr our way of life. We must put our selfish ways to death and march to a different beat.
