You don't have to be religious to be an evil person, but religion has a record of convincing otherwise good people to do bad things. ..Religion is a repugnan institution that holds people back more often than it lifts them up.This post is a clear example of selection bias: see only the bad, ignore the good.
What good does religion do that can't be done otherwise? The best I can think of is charity work, which could be done just as well by a well funded humanist groups that don't include holy books with their food packages. Books that, more often than not, lead to division instead of unity.
