Thus they don't know it is wrong, they just know society deems it wrong.

I'd suggest morality evolved as a survival tool, that or God just forgot to instill a conscience in sociopaths, psychopaths etc..
They do believe it is wrong, that is my argument, they just suppress their conscience.

Serial killers and serial rapists know what they are doing is wrong. Even the criminal justice system recognizes this, they only receive a more lenient sentence if they are deemed to be mentally ill.
