sacrifical altruism, relentless curiosity, introspection, trust. I dont deny there have been some solid research in kin selection on some of these points. I don't deny that most, if not all, were accounted for by survivability. I don't think it's coinsidence that we're designed for survivability. Why wold a creation striving toward evolution to transcendence not need survivability as an ingredient. I'm not farmiliar with the timeline of necessity for evolutionary biology, but I'd like to do some personal reseach on the subject. My question would be how long would it take a species of self-serving mammals to form a society then develop altruism?
As far as athesits having no basis for morality; I think people (atheists and theists) have a common intuitive basis for morality skewed by society and nuturing . I think we all have the potential to be more alike and less unique than is commonly accepted.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
