Not this shit again.
You think morals are exclusive to only those who believe in invisible sky heros? I can show you animals protecting their young, and even a CAT protecting a kid from a dog attacking her.
Our behavior as humans is in us, for the same reason a lioness will protect her cubs.
If you need a god to threaten or bribe you to do the right thing then you mentally really are not any better than a kid behaving to get presents under a Christmas tree.
Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in our evolution, not our human invented religions, borders or politics. We have never been a separate species because of those things. There are hospitals and prisons in every nation on the face of the planet.
Assuming nature needs a magical puppeteer is as stupid as believing a hurricane needs Poseidon to cause it.
