I dont think both will be asked.
How did you/he die or what happened. we are humans and we still have some humanity left in us,so i guess humanity comes first.
Any one who has been out of the country will tell,they are asked where are you from not which religion are you from.
When two country men meet,first question will be which state or province are you from.
If the same two country men belong to the same state/province the first question will be which part or city you are from.
If they are from the same city then which part of the city.
If they are from the same part of the city.
The questions go on,on these lines when two normal people talk.
Now how odd it looks when you ask a stranger the first question..whats your religion.
Religion takes private space...religion dsnt give you identity country does because country takes public space.
