There are good people and there are evil people but the
only thing that can make a good person an evil person
is religion.

I do understand what Richard Dawkins is pointing at, but still its a quit bold statement. Too many non-religous people are evil anyway. I also know many religious people that mean well, thinking they do well as they follow the hidden dogmatic orders of the religious institution. They are tools of that evil system.

@Marcus_Angelus That's not what he stated. He said "the only thing that can make a good person an evil person is religion.There are many more reasons why people become evil. Greed is not religious, neither is lust for power, but they are still evil qualities.
Dawkins is very quoteable, but if he said that, he was quoting fellow scientist
Steven Weinberg...
"Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
