We are not an accurate depiction of humanity throughout time. This level of comfort is an aberration. Oh look, the atheists live in the easiest comfiest place and time in the history of all species in the history of the earth, and they aren't hacking eachother up with axes!
Muslims be hacking eachother up though! Well, Muslims in the middle east that is. Muslims in America have access to Cheesecake Factories, so 99.9999% of them aren't interested in beheadings any more than an atheist is.
I think you just found the true answer to the question "why be good?"
I live in a world with cheese cake and sex. I have a much higher chance of getting those things for free when I am good. So...why be bad?
One could easily answer the second question with "to earn myself a spanking", but let's be honest with ourselves, if you're being bad just to get someone to spank you...that actually counts as being good.
