People who grow up in non-empathetic societies do not have to be taught to kill. Children are wonderful torturers- they come by it naturally. They have to be taught NOT to torture things. If you encouraged their innate desires you could raise quite a bloodthirsty race- and it's been done.

I think the wiring to learn morality is inborn- but it does not follow that the wiring needs to be activated. And religion certainly doesn't have to have anything to do with it.
