I think it is a simple fact that "human sacrifice" is common, necessary, and still very much part of this modern world.
And yes, that includes sacrificing the human life to "gods". After all, soldiers sacrifice their lives all the time. Many of these megalomaniacs that start these horrific wars are atheists, which is simply another way of saying they see themselves as Gods.
The difference between them and Jesus is that Jesus sacrificed His life for us and they want us to sacrifice our lives for them.
