Altruism is nothing else than caring for your fellow humans. No religion required.
Nailed it. 'Altruism' implies that good deeds are done with no expectation or reciprocation or reward. The religiously-minded do good deeds for the express purpose of reward (getting to heaven). This is rather like selling your water bottle to a man dying of thirst.

Were animals. Germany was very poor shortly before WW2, so accepting the idea of being "supreme race" to slaughter for land was possible. Even bringing slaves to work camps and giving them enough food so they could work for a few month and die from starvation.
NATO right now does same thing by attacking midget counties compared to it with ultra modern technology for no particular reason(policing the world isn't a good enough raeson to bombard unprovoked).
Slaughterhouses to maximize profits even if its requires to spill lots of blood.
Ghandi killed for wanting to retrieve land from invaders.
The list can go on and on. Were complete animals often when times get tough...
