Please describe a situation where one definitely and unambiguously should not "pull the lever".
If the lever, aside from being a metaphorical lever, is also attached to a very large nuclear explosive.
If afterwards, the person will feel manipulated and violated, and become angry, and break off the friendship, (even if they stay atheist), pulling the lever would be a bad choice.
I would not call it unambiguous. They might come around after awhile and thank you.
