Why am I not evil?

I get ya after reading again. I do however feel that morals have unintentionally been given some guidance from religious beliefs. I think if the presence of religious morals was not present then the line between good and bad would be skewed to but a blur line that would be more easily stepped on. I agree that I am approaching the topic at a biased angle and may have from the jump of the OP approached as such. he reason u are not evil is because your morals were most likely taught. I know that I could be wrong but if I am right and u were taught that belief of morals passed on was probably at one point in time influenced by the morals of religious beliefs. I read on the link objective posted that during the time of the Nazi uprising that Germany fell to that way of thinking during a time of a religious belief down fall. Not to say that is true but it makes sense to me.
