I think it amounts to an explanation to ones' self as to why one doesn't do such things.
Just like religion, it mistakenly assumes that it isn't generally in our evolved nature to behave with empathy.
I've heard from many people who have left religion, after being convinced that their beliefs were all that was stopping them murdering people, that they discover, "Oh. Actually, I don't want to murder anyone anyway."
