I don't think he means that the person doing bad things is still a good person.Maybe that's what he meant. Maybe not. Again, it sounds catchy but doesn't hold up well to examination.
But, if that's what he meant, then his point would be more accurately worded as:
Some people are good.
Some people are evil.
Only religion will change a good person to an evil person.
Which I think is obviously incorrect. All sorts of things can change a person from good to evil - even love.
