The truth is that we care about people who are closer to us than those who are farther away. You probably care more about some neighbors than you do other countrymen, but care more about those other countrymen than you do about foreigners.
Look at news reports of some accident or disaster. They frequently say something like "Plane crash kills 28, including 2 from [our country]." That's because people care more about their own countrymen than they do about others. It's not a religious or atheist thing, or a left or right thing. It's a human thing.
