The spirit to which you are referring is nothing more than one's conscience informing him that it is wrong to harm others. For some illogical reason, silly theists love to assume that some supernatural force is at work, almost as though they are too uncomfortable believing that they alone are in control of themselves.
What makes it all even more ridiculous is the religious concept of sin. Anything the theist personally finds abhorrent seemingly and coincidentally is also abhorrent to a god that shows absolutely no signs of being interested in our lives but becomes humanly upset at our supposed transgressions. It seems a great deal of projection is taking place.
