Did non-Christian cultures develop their own concept of "ought" and "should"? Say, China or Japan? I am no expert, but it certainly seems like they had their own moral codes, with elements of virtue ethics and deontology.
And consequentialism!
Yeah, absolutely, I think this is present in all cultures by default. But it is often superseded by the lost purposes expressed as rules or virtues. Well, some virtues, such as fairness are already built into primates and probably most pack animals on the genetic level.
