You make a brave effort to link self-sacrifice with rationality and reason ...

I don't think the issue is does self-sacrifice link with rationality and reason. The issue you seem to be concerned about is does it link with not believing in God. Besides the observation that people who don't believe in God can be and are willing to sacrifice themselves in some situations, I would say that in most cases the act probably links better to emotion than to rationality, whether or not the person committing the sacrifice believes in God, then it does with logic.
