If religion is so great why is there still imperfect evil in humanity ?

[Massimo2002]

You would think that religion would easily solve the many problems that are evil and bad with humans but it doesn't which makes religion a pointless waste of self comforting time.

Except self comfort is important...

Question: "If religion is so great why is there still imperfect evil in humanity ?"

Most common answer: "Because of them." <--- blaming.

Less common answer: "Because no one is perfect, with one and only one exception."

Spirituality:
Spirituality is great, urging people to introspect, reflect, search for their Goal in Life, improve their own human values. Nothing wrong with Spirituality.

Religion:
I don't know how you define Religion.
If Religion teaches "My Religion is Superior and other Religions and beliefs are Inferior, thereby belittling and degrading other humans" then you know one of the major causes of this excess of "imperfect evil in humanity"

Of course you can't, in good conscience, blame Religious people, just ca 60%, for the mess the other 40% makes. Each is responsible for their own created mess

It's as simple as that

Why would one think such a thing?

 

[Quintessence]

The purpose of religion isn't to "solve the many problems that are evil and bad with humans." It is to address existential questions of life and living especially relationships with the self, other humans, and the greater-than-human world we are part of. For a limited subset of religions and specific individuals, they may view what you say as part of that but many of us do not. Honestly, it makes more sense to make this claim about other aspects of humanity. Human law, government, and justice processes have a lot more to do with addressing "evil and bad with humans" than religion ever does. And these days technology is vastly more in the game of convincing humans that it "solves problems" too.

Could it be, because some people just want to be evil?

I don't think religions are great, I think God, Jesus and their teachings are great.
