Evolutionary psychology will let you understand how some values have
been selected.

Belief is a common feature of human psychology.  EP says it was either
directly selected, i.e., at some point, it contributed to gene
survival or it is a side effect of something that was selected.  I
think it was the latter, and specifically, it was part of the
psychological characteristics selected for wars.

I know, it's an unpopular view.
