In some ways, evil is backhanded proof of Gods existence.

It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

We often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers - a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.

If there is no God, the labels 'good' and 'evil' are merely opinions. They are substitutes for 'I like it' and 'I don't like it.' They are not objective realities.

Evil is a miscellaneous collection of nasty things that nasty people do.

Throughout the Old Testament, God warns his chosen people about the perils of assimilation, shiksappeal and false gods.

If there is a God, whence proceed so many evils? If there is no God, whence cometh any good?

If you take a look at history, you will find that the understanding of what is good and evil has always existed before the individual religions. The religions were only invented by people afterwards, in order to express this idea.
