When an adult chimp kills another adult chimp and doesn’t eat them, is that not because of beliefs? There are many animals that don’t eat everything that comes their way, and it is clearly a conscious decision.

I guess it depends on the chimp's religious beliefs. These unstaged chimps from BBC PlanetEarth clearly has no compunction about eating a rival gang's carcass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al-f_WWoHI4 .

They'll gang up and murder or perhaps execute members of their own group.

They'll even kill the children of low ranking females just to emphasize the dominance hierarchy. Mother nature is a bitch.
