As a person that believes in evolution, I believe the strongest drive we have is for survival, seconded by the desire to reproduce. Both involve, often brutal, violent and self centerd acts. Christianity however appeals to the higher intellect, the ability to be insightful, sensitive to others, caring and compassionate. The difficulty in taking up Christs teaching is that your instinct will always go back to the violent, aggressive, unthinking animal. Jesus and God asked us to get above that., to deny our base, animal instincts. Tall, tall order for most.
