God much rather have spiritual beings with free will with evil, than beings with no free will and no evil.

His presence is sufficiently revealed so people will know he’s there but sufficiently hidden so that those who wish to ignore him can do so. This way, their choice of destiny* is really a free-will decision. Everyone is currently deciding their choice.

*Either eternal connection with God, or eternal separation.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
