Just like Atheists. It's evolution.
Don't throw rocks at others because it may harm your chances of survival.

Personally, I think most people are as good as they can be.
I think you should reexamine your idea of being closer to god. It's really, who does god love the most, isn't it?
Sibling rivalry, daddy loves me more than you because I'm better behaved.
