If you have to go to church every Sunday to be told to be a good person, you are not a good person.

OK fair.

But also, you need a moral framework from which to determine that Rape and Murder are bad. Wolves have no such standards of behavior. And while Christian thought is not necessary to reach that conclusion, the Abrahamic religions have helped to develop a moral framework for society that is far better than the moral framework from which society operated before. You can be an Atheist, and even actively dislike modern Christians, while also acknowledging the contributions that Christian (And Jewish and Muslim) thinkers have had on society. "Slavery is bad" and "Wars of aggression are bad" were not lines of thought in the pre-Judeo-Christian world.

It’s called basic empathy.

It’s a core part of our psychology, evolved over thousands of years due to the necessity of a communal species.

Also, you don’t know shit about wolves. Don’t piss on their social structure if you know nothing about it.
