"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.
Buddah believed in God... God told him (according to his text) to teach the dharma.
should we force people to 'intend well-being for all'?
that would be difficult to do without synthetic telepathy
but if you could do it so conviently... what is the sin?
