    But for a good person to do bad things, that takes religion.

    This sounds like it’s a prerequisite to be good before becoming religious … which historically is not the case.

    Child molesters who entered the priesthood were not “good” before using the shelter of the Church to rape children.

    Being “good” or “bad” is a conscious, moral decision which is maintained by every person choosing what is of the utmost importance for their life … selfish fulfillment or altruism.

    … this is, ofc, setting aside mental health issues that do not allow some to make rational conscious decisions.
