    I agree with you that while religion can be the driving force of many people, it should not dictate this argument. As you've stated, the "right to die" is an argument based on individual rights, not religion. A person can be highly influenced by their religion to uphold certain views, but those views should not interfere with what others believe; the right to die is an individual choice, no one is being forced to do anything here.
