Well, most christians believe that without the threat of eternal bliss or eternal torture there is no motivation for one to be moral, i.e., be moral and get rewarded. Now your asking them to be moral and get tortured. That's a toughy for them.
As an atheist, my morality is purer, more genuine, and not tied up in rewards or punishments like a christian's morality, so obviously I'd sacrifice myself for the greater good.
On second thought, i'd let them burn.
