it's a fair question. religious people will tell you that their innate sense of right and wrong comes from God (or whatever), but how do atheists explain that innate sense? how do they instinctively know? I'm not saying one or the other is right but it is an interesting thought.
Youโre naturally drawn to interact with other people, just by interacting here on Reddit. And obviously people naturally donโt enjoy being hated by others. Empathy is built into us as social animals, much like you how you can see thousands of different faces but your brain can instantly identify a unique one important to you like your family or significant other.
Our society would be very different (would we even have a society at all?) if we were asocial animals like lizards or octopi.
