Let me copy one of my comments so you can see it:
Religion helped to use moral rules against “others”. ‘You should not rape your friends wife, but you can do anything with yours.’ look at the Bible and those marriage rules.
‘You should not do business outside the tribe’ - several current religions still have this rule, a bit more softened.
And so on.
Those are morals set by ruling class = religion or god kings (example: pharaohs). They are the foundation of society. And that’s what I keep saying. Morals and society has the foundation in religion. And morals are not good by default.
