Competition IMO. The only society were there is real incentive to not be an asshole/idiot would be a traditional christian one, like the amish f.e.

Why would someone not be an asshole/idiot in a traditional christian society?
Because it lowers your social status. Humility gets rewarded, arrogance and selfishness get punished. And because every man has his own wife, there's no absolute need to become the alpha of the group to spread ones genes. No need to go against fellow men.
That just disguises competition under a bunch of lies.
It's coopetition in the true sense of the word. You compete in cooperating. The one who gives the most, receives the most. If the christian doctrine is correctly applied, it's an upward spiral for each individual in the group.
Because you are commanded to love your neighbor as you love your self. Christians also have to forgive others to be forgiven by Christ. Meekness and humbleness should be the hallmarks of a good Christian. We all fall short imo
I don't think commanding someone to love makes any sense. People would just not do it.
