Depending on empathy is categorically worse, than lacking empathy. The lack of empathy is only problematic if anything depends on empathy. This is why empathy is a temporary device in the development of civilisation. But not everyone has borg-like ideals.

Do morals rely on a belief in god? Well some say morals depend on a practice of empathy. These may be EQUALLY unsound motivations. What else might morals rely on? Beauty? Order - a kind of beauty? Desire, and passion - two other kinds of beauty? After all, morality is an aesthetic preference : the preferred shape of our experienced lives.
