In fact any faith where followers perceive good works to attain God's favor is not altruistic. A good and obvious example are evangelical christians who go out to "save the people from eternal torment." Although mentally, Christians are compelled due to the teachings of the NT, they are nonetheless compelled not of themselves, but by another. Which leads me to think altruism whether religious or otherwise, may not exist.
