People who are only moral because of religion are telling on themselves more than anything else.
As a species we have evolved basic morals because it compliments our social evolution as well. Success of the group is success for everyone, there is an evolutionary benefit to being able to instinctively recognize the feelings and desires of others. The exceptions would be people who are empathetically disabled, which is more like a parasitic evolutionary trait than a beneficial one for humanity generally.
We’re not all sociopaths because we would never have societies if that were the case, we’d probably be extinct.
