I also don't see any value in this universal love that you claim you have. Five parsecs wide and a nanometer deep.
I realized that I loved everyone from learning about Christ.
intending well-being for all is a fundamental need for mankind
"Intending well-being for all" certainly isn't the exclusive territory of Christianity - it's the core idea in Buddhist metta (lovingkindness) meditations. No gods are required.
Whether or not it's a "fundamental need for mankind" is debatable. It sounds to me as if you're trying to police the emotions of others, telling them what they should or should not feel. That is not cool, not at all; what I feel, for instance, is not for you to decide.
