For better or worse, Judeo Christian values are the moral and cultural underpinning of our Western society. You can't simply toss it out like bathwater. Religious groups also were in the practice of spreading charity and compassion long before non-secular groups, and it wasn't necessarily out of self-interest.
It's difficult to find a people or a culture without some form of what can be broadly referred to here as a moral or ethical codification. That would suggest that the Judeo-Christian one is by no means unique. If groups of people get around to codifying actions by way of moral judgments, it suggests something innate to human psychology, and not religious. In other words, religions come after the fact.
