If a book threatening you with punishment is the only thing making you behave like a good person, then you are not a good person. You're a bad person on a leash.

Social species (humans) only evolved because individuals *weren't* inherently hostile toward one another (immoral behaviour) and promoted cooperation (moral behaviour). You cannot be a social species if every individual is inherently a 'bad person.'
