Our prefrontal cortexes are hard-wired with abstract, symbolic constructions of laws, culture, behavior, philosophy, etc, by the time we reach adulthood. In some people, those are religious laws/behaviors (culture), and in others, it's a culture stemming from a more secular philosophy.
So I think the more accurate statement would be: Human nature seems to have an inherent need for lawful or systematic thinking in line with their learned culture.
