Many abolitionists were sincere Christians. Perhaps if you took the time to learn about abolitionism you'd know the importance religion played in their lives.
Sincere Christians also enslaved, perhaps they were the most sincere, the papacy was itself a major slave owner bear in mind Christianity with its ham theory was then pro-slavery. Why did they wait all that long until the cusp industrial revolution to feel the sudden sympathy.

This is why first region or countries to industrialize was the first to abolish slavery, a more profitable option is found an it undercuts the competition, no altruism.
