Well, for a religious person, maybe that definition of evil makes sense, but for atheists, evil is just going against the moral codes we’ve created throughout our history. Plus, if the absence of God is considered evil, why is He absent? If He loves us so much, why is He absent and allowing evil into our lives? I know we have free will and all that, but it sounds hypocritical to say that God loves us so much while leaving us to live in this evil world
