This is a bit conflicting, no?

I meant that without belief in God, there is no real objective rational reason to be altruistic.
Evolution has built altruistic behavior in many animal species. Just recently I read about some single celled species where in extreme circumstances, a few of cells self-scarfice so that rest can survive.
