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?
A belief in the Atonement and Resurrection of Christ is still self-serving, for it gets you to Candy Mountain, and all the nay-sayers go to Mordor.
