You find it hard to believe that I'd try to enforce my desires on others, or that my religion might keep me from doing so?
From a rational standpoint, an organism that exists for itself should only do that which benefits it most.
While I might think that the idea of an anarchic paradise is utter foolishness and ignorance, it doesn't stop me from realizing that - as well off as I might be in such a state - I'd be even better off trying to turn it into my personal little paradise.
Why wouldn't I? The only rational reason, from my perspective, is if I am responsible to some other being. And responsibility to fellow human beings isn't exactly my strongest motivation - or most human's motivation, for that matter.
