Ask most people of any religious conviction whether they would happily spend their day committing (fraud, theft, arson, rape, murder etc) and you won't get many people saying they would. Morality in simple form is also readily visible in other animal species, or is also visible in babies and toddlers that wouldn't know anything of religion...

In hard times Many animal species will sacrifice their young to survive to breed again when things come good again.
Most humans parents will sacrifice themselves, how does this stand in the moral question?
