I don't know, I think the human mind is very complex and that there is a whole spiritual world in there, whether if there is a metaphysical existence or not, it creates a spiritual world. Even our personality (if there is no soul) is created with an spiritual metaphysical type image by the mind.
We have concepts of potential honour we can have, of course, it's another thing if we embrace what level of honour or if we even can if we wanted to.
In a sense you are right, these are our "opinions", but I don't think thoughts are simple, they are very complex, and having a living metaphysical dimension in a world created by the mind.
Whether this is a real soul or not, real metaphysical existence or not, this world is created through the mind.
There is a world within, and I feel there is "gods" within, and then our idea of the "most greatest" of these "gods" within us.
Before people had to express a mix of these gods in religion. Today we tend to express them in Movies and fiction.
The key thing is we look up to the stars, and then we have a high standard. Perhaps evolution favoured that, because it made better humans, both in strength of will and goodness.
