Do you think anything is objectively good or evil? If so what?
What do you think drives people to aim for what they believe is good and away from what they believe is evil?
I see good and evil as what the vast majority see as evil is evil and what the vast majority sees as good is good i.e. if 6 million Jews are killed the opinion would be world based not German based.
One of the only problems I see in that concept is religion i.e. atheism can be seen as evil but that is solved by the fact different key religions see each other as evil and couldn’t therefore come together to form a unified opinion just as Christianity could be voted evil, Muslims could be voted evil on a world wide basis so the safest observation is belief or non belief in gods cannot be evil unless it is evil done in that gods name or in the name of atheism.
The other problem you face is, if a god existed e.g. Sally could be walking down a dark lane, she is attacked, raped and beaten to death by a group of men. If the omnipotent god concept existed, Sally could be unafraid, feel no pain and wake up remembering nothing the next day. In that case the group of men would not be evil as there was no suffering.
If gods exist, they could either choose suffering or no suffering meaning, if a god exists, evil is a choice of that god and therefore, if evil exists it must be created by that god.
