So, both altruism and selfishness are selected depending on the local temporary situation. There is no circumstance under which Christian morality only is favored. Evil people will always find circumstances that favor them and their reproduction. In that sense, that Evil is always with us, that the Devil is real, Christianity, or at least Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, is true.

The other problem is it shoves God to the sidelines.

Organized religion, organized scientism… it’s all too collectivist for my taste. I’m all for people with common interests coming together for the sake of those interests, but let’s not have an idolatry of group identification.

Man is an imperfect creature. Banding together won’t fix that. It never has. But given enough independent, individual viewpoints, the odds are someone, somewhere might figure it out.

To paraphrase Jeremiah, cursed is he who trusts in the superorganism.
