At least with Buddhist teachings, I'd definitely agree. Similarly with some of the Ancient Greek schools' teachings (Epicureans, Stoics, etc), even in parts of their mysticism. I don't know enough about, say, Hinduism, Taoism, or Shinto to comment on those, but I get the impression they're fairly similar in that regard, too.

However, I can't help but feel that a lot of Abrahamic teachings seem to be mostly about increasing the mimetic fitness of the faith. For instance: "go forth and multiply" is always good for keeping the size of your congregation up; evangelism likewise; "you shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk" reads to me as "don't eat your future dairy animals", a handy survival tip in the bronze age; and so forth.
