OT:The concept of "Evil vs Good" is based on religion. Don't make me dig up links on philosophy for this.

Is it now?? Which religion?? Egyptian?? Assyrian?? Buddhism?? Hinduism??

Because the concept of "good and evil" goes back as far written history.

Maybe it's just that the majority of books and writings we have from history are primarily religious since they are generally the ones who were literate enough to be able to write it all down..

Look at Australian Aborigines.. They didn't know how to write and they possess a concept of "good vs evil".. (evil spirits.. etc)

It may originate solely in the concept of anything that makes us afraid is evil, while anything that makes us feel happy is good...

But it strikes me as rather interesting that very few, if any, remote tribes have ever been discovered to be atheistic. There is a primal need for mankind to believe in something greater than ourselves.. In my opinion..
