Like if you take a Muslim that goes on a suicidal bomb mission you would think he is doing Allah's will, but in the end, he is doing it for self-interest because he wants to go to paradise and get those 72 virgins.
This is because most religions are transactional - follow the rules and you go to Heaven, break the rules and you go to Hell.
Religion isn’t necessary to having a moral core, but it’s vital to cover up the fact that you lack a moral core.
