All animals will show altruism to their own family. That is an evolved instinct.for obvious reasons. A lifeform that does not do this will go extinct. Religion isn't necessary.DeezerShoove » 31 May 2022, 9:37 pm » wrote: ↑ Aspiring to a higher purpose and character improvement is beneficial.
"Doing the right thing when no one is looking" comes to mind.
If that seems difficult, for some a belief in God serves the purpose.
What's wrong with that?

Why would you feel the need to be a good person?
(This assumes you want that at all in the first place.)
If you do, what do you have that motivates this desire?
Now why have modern western countries become so narcissistic and amoral? Because we are not a family. Simple science. Just like a lion does not particularly care about the gazelle that it hunts down and eats..so Whites, Blacks, Mestizos, Orientals, etc do not particularly care about eachother. It is quite simply because of genetic difference.
And it is well understood that in a society where many of the 'citizens' are in fact genetic rivals rather than part of your extended family...no person religious or not is going to feel compelled to do the right thing...especially if nobody is watching.
