I understand it’s that little voice in our head. But whenever I look it up all I find is religious reasons why we have it and what it is. I myself believe in God but I want the true scientific reason for this “conscience”

Conscience is an aspect of sentience and social intelligence. It comes down to, “don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want others to do to you.” For example, you would be inconvenienced or downright gutted if somebody stole something from you, so you do not steal from others. Meanwhile, a seagull doesn’t have the capacity for conscience, so if you turn your head for two seconds at a picnic, a piece of your food goes byebye.
