Yes, but dying is against God's law... so they've cleverly got around that problem.

Not true for every religion.

Judaism has certain specific instances where it is accepted that it would be better for one to die than commit a sin.

Also, martyrdom would not be such a large aspect in Christianity (or, at least, in early Christianity) if dying for God wasn't considered a good thing.

Yes, precisely this.
