    "And I'm also genuinely interested in why people believe this, but I'm more interested in if there's any root doctrine that isn't just selfish excuses."

    The selfish excuses bothers me. You seem to state it as selfish is a bad thing. That looking out for oneself and not his brother is a sin. That collectivist shit is derived in almost every religion, and so funny democrats or state parties use it against "religious" parties. Reminds me of this


    And the idea of these selfless people looking out for the greater good.

    Don't think of selfish as a bad thing. If you do you have already kind of fallen into the original sin trap. Its a good trap its lasted for centuries, and has been adopted by political socialist types for its effectiveness. Why I find there is little difference between right and left. Both believe in an omnipotent deity that can plan for everyone, one calls him god the other the state.
