Without religion you would have good people doing good things and bad people doing bad things. It takes religion to make good people do bad things.
That's the kind of point I was trying to make. I don't think there would be any more evil in the world without religion, as anyone who wants to be evil already is. Religion dosen't stop evil people doing evil things it gives them an excuse and a get out of jail free card with the whole repenting and excepting to save their souls. But there are people who commit evil in the name of their religion who could otherwise have done good.
I'm probably not making the point very well but I think the point im trying to make is summed up best by the first sentence in this post. Obviously not my words, but certainly sums up my stance.
