Doing the right thing does require knowing what the right thing is.
Empathy is a good thing, but it can also blind you to the root cause of some ills, and the
way to solve them.

People can do right or wrong things with or without religion.

But some religions are better at aiding one to do the right thing and others at doing the wrong thing. 😏

question: Can individuals with autism be emphathetic?

I have seen it happen, so it is possible.

People say be yourself.
But what if you are a serial killer ?

I would suggest stop being yourself, stop killing people.
