i suspect the effect of altruism movement is not a particularly god centered group. A lot of people's repugnances, repugnant reactions in these settings come from deep seated religious views. The interesting question, if you don't believe in god, how do you reject those repugnant conclusions? i'd probably be against putting a chip in everyone's skull that stimulates their happiness centre. This takes us away from from humanness, fro from our fundamental being human. I had an essay before everyone sort of started talking about long termism and about the issue of keeping humanity human.
