Yeah, thoughts.
First I would suggest to climb from the homocentric religious high horse and to look up recent cognition experiments with animals. From the top of my head I would suggest Brian Hare. There are quite a number of videos with and about him on youtube and other channels. There are countless others of course, but it seems like a rather fruitless endeavor to convince you of humans not being as unique and magnificent as your religious bias suggests.
If you are to follow my advice, you might even get an answer to your "why be good" thread, since we are not the only social species with codes of conduct and the ability to feel empathy.
