For as long as there have been people, there have been good people able to discern the difference between good and evil, doing good things.
Simmilarly for as long as there have been people, there have also been and evil people able to discern between good and evil doing evil things.
For as long as there will be people, there will be good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
For good people to do evil things without being able to discerned them as such however, that is always the result of religious belief.
When a God at the centre of any religion is believed to be perfect and without fault, good people who believe this must believe that everything that God instructs them to do therefore must also be perfect and without fault and by definition, a good thing to do.
CONSIDER for example, a young father taking for the first time his newly born son into his arms. Try to imagine (or remember) the colideascope of emotions, the overwhelming unprecidented wonder and the spontainious & immeasurable unconditional love that is the moment of joyious first meeting.
What other than the instruction of a God ato look into the infant's eyes and think to himself without so much as a second thought "I'll take a surgical scalpal and cut the skin of the end of his penis ... and I won't use an anaesthetic!"
What monsterous evil is that?
