"not that it is wrong or evil."

What people term 'evil' is simply what is hurtful or harmful. This is much more consistent for the atheist than it is for religious people whose "hurtful" and "helpful" is always extremely relative and dependent on their tribe, their 'chosen people' category, and their particular book or books of religious stories/dogma.

Superstitious people cobble their preferential status with very relative (and self-serving) standards which is why we have so much religious warfare. When standards are not grounded in Reason and Reality, they quickly become absurd and arbitrary.

If all 'chosen people' religious differences were surrendered and common standards of civilised behaviour adopted, peace would begin to pervade our planet rather than war.
