In social species, cooperation, altruism, kin selection are part of the survival mechanism. 'Fit' members of social species are naturally good at these attributes. Unfit members, get ejected from the social structure.
In Bonobos, our closest cousins, unfit members are often those that try to take over the group by using 'might makes right' tactics. Individuals that try this are usually violently ejected from the group.
Welcome to your misunderstanding of 'survival of the fittest'.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
