Does religion expose the shortcomings of empathy based moral systems

[Whateverist]

Did anything I said suggest I thought there was a biological aspect that governs their behavior?  Don't think I understand your point.

I guess I don't understand your original point has to do with my original post.  I tried to infer some context to make them related.

The key original point is that religion is an example of human behavior in a godless world.  So the shit that's done in God's name exists as a byproduct of our godless reality.  Religious people are what happens when there is no god, not when there is a God.

Atheists think religious people are historically the worst.  So when religious people say "If there's no God, then people would be shit."  They are right, and they are also the evidence of their being right.

Oh I see.  Yeah I did miss your original point.  My point didn't address that but from a rough reading it made me think about the way Christians seem to be disposed against trusting their natural inclinations including empathy.  That reaches a zenith under Kant when he decides that the person who goes to see his ailing mother in hospital from a sense of duty is morally superior to the person who does so out of kind regard for his mother.
