biLL:

What constitutes "religion" in your post just above?

I must assume you mean grous coming together in pursuit of somethign they see as divine or spiritual.

Canyou be a bit more precise about what it is you think generates evil? Egos, now, are surely a deep pat of lots of aberration, but since even good people have them, they cannot themselves be the inherent fount of evil. So what is that generates ego-driven evil?

I would suggest it less having an ego than denying the egos of others -- that is, the blocking of compassion. Human affinity is a powerful force for the good, such that its denial is almost sure to generate harm of some kind.
