Well that's incredibly over-simplified. I have a conscious and I know right from wrong. These ideals have nothing to do with religion. No one with a shred of intelligence would state that humans are inantely good, but we do create social norms and mores that most people will follow regardless of their religious affiliation. And I'm pretty sure the concept of good and evil predates the bible. Good and evil and right and wrong have nothing to do with religion...it's all perception. That's why one thing can be wrong to me and right to you. Since there's a subjective nature of good and evil, I think it's safe to say that the bible didn't lay down the cornerstone for such ideas.
