It's simply the reality: we're a social species, we rely on one another to survive. If we didn't co-operate, we wouldn't have the society we have now which allows us to live longer and more fulfilled lives. We're built from the ground up for this.
But let's flip the script: are you telling us that you can't envision a reason to help people beyond that god wants you to? You're that morally bankrupt a person?
If there is no God, the only reason to help people is if the action --in some way, at some point-- serves me. How is that moral?
