Altruism is nothing else than caring for your fellow humans. No religion required.
Religion tries to boost altruism with fear in God. And yes, corruption grows even in this hierarchy.
You don't know what altruism is, I'm afraid. It's merely the selfless concern for the well-being of others. Being good out of fear that a god will punish you is not altruism.
