Quote:As you have it written, your first sentence above contradicts the third sentence.
It actually doesn't. Having a good (empathic, morally sound) nature is not the same as only doing good deeds. Your religious choice doesn't change your nature, but it may affect the nature of your deeds.
Quote:Religion can't drive good people to commit evil deeds if good people are good regardless of their religious opinion
Good people can commit evil deeds, if they think that they have a very good reason to do so. Religion can provide that reason.
