Dawkins has this little bit in the selfish gene explaining why humans may act altruistically.

It may be a correct explanation or not but it raises a very valid point which is if you lie, cheat, steal you will get caught and everyone will remember. There is no such thing as a perfect crime because we will get to the bottom of it eventually. If something ends up missing or dead, we will find out why.

I go even further than that and say that Christian morality is a slave morality. That it is in fact just and can be supported by the population for example to cull the weak, and their communistic principles don't work.

In both cases morality is just what works. It isn't something supernatural but something we can work out for ourselves.
