I think it is probably is a part of human nature. Likely a combination of culture and genetics.
There is a fundamental good aspect of the golden rule, but also drawbacks.
But as you guys know not everything which is natural or nature is moral.

Religious belief & the oppression of the golden rule.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” commonly known as “The Golden Rule,” is indeed a biblical principle. Luke 6:31 records Jesus saying

Interesting points there, when I was reading that article about Bayle The Huguenot Philosopher and how he was able to conclude
Atheist can be moral and there are immoral believers also.
