I'm sorry, I didn't realize I refuted sound scientific hypothesis by believing in God. I understand completely that my views aren't generally shared by the atheist community or most religious ones for that matter.
Don't kno what you meant by hive mentality. There is an objective morality in all people. It's called our conscience. It is imparted by God, to us. All "ideas" in reference to morality or equality should be tested.
Never said anything about a doctrine from a religious leader. I'm talking about core scriptures of peaceable generally monotheistic religions, not the teachings, of any one person or religion. It's not that without following God one will indeed be a rapist or murderer, but that it teaches of a way of being that is pure and benifitial to all existence. One might see themself as without sin. This is false. Just because you don't kill or rape doesn't mean you don't do things out of greed or hate.
You seem confused. Humans are predatory, they just deceive themselves about it because it isn't nessicarily violent. Who said Faith in the One Creator GOD started with Moses? Not me, I assure you. You speak of empathy and evolution and human nature as if these things weren't all set in motion by God for our sake, not his. Do a little research and you will find a lot of geographical oddities that indicate the worship of a creative force long before written word, and yes, before the time of Moses.
Faith is intrinsic to the good in man from God because of the exponential amount of bad that is readily observable in general. We must be able to believe in the potential direction of man. Conversely, the obvious observable direction of man is that of greed, prejudice, and atrocity. To state otherwise is not realistic. Another point I would like to point out is that there are quite a number of people who understand there is a God but don't grasp the gravity of the situation, or unknowingly actively work against the very direction they think they are working towards. There are others that are good people for the most part but have some hatred towards others due to the beliefs of the two parties.
There is also a potential to unify even these people, and all others paving the way for advancement and prosperity never before witnessed. This can be achived through the selfless conscience on a global level. The implications are without limit. The source is God, the way is the teachings and example and sacrifice of Jesus, the only true Crist.
You mention observing religion. Know that what I speak of isn't really organized religion, or at very least isn't defined by it.
I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think you quite understand my particular point of view.
Perhaps we can speak further.
Peace
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
