Not really. Altruism is ultimately self-serving whether an afterlife exists or not. People generally don't want to spend their life being wronged by others or have their life taken altogether, so we have a pretty good incentive to not do those things.
I'm not sure how that relates to what I said. Morality โ mortality.
Ooooh I 100% read "morality" lol, my bad
All good. Yeah I think morality is not really something religion helps with.
