Good and evil are a social construction that changes from society to society. Remorse is an adaption we formed to work together and build societies but morality itself is entirely subjective. For example in some societies it's seen as morally alright to eat dead bodies while in others that's seen as a horrible crime. The age of consent has changed multiple times throughout history, so has the subject of homosexuality being right or wrong.
There is no good people. Most people hold onto morals so they can superior to others. For example look at how Christians will completely ignore verses in the bible about helping the homeless but conveniently remember those about those they don't like going to hell or how modern progressives will often preach against racism and then insult someone for their looks. There's no consistency within morals, it's all really just a ploy to get mad at something or display power over others.
Furthermore people will abandon morals at the first sight of trouble. Look at what happened with COVID, or how online people behave way more viciously. There is no good people. Children are not pure. They just don't hide themselves as much as adults.
Everyone is driven by inherit animalistic tribalism. We can't escape our urge towards violence, hence why even with all our technological advancements we haven't progressed past our basic primeval urges to the point that a giant stick aka nuclear weapons can basically wipe us all out.
I suppose God or religion could be used for an argument towards the existence of morals but I'd like to argue that God couldn't always exist and even if he was the first person to exist then why is everything he says automatically right?
