It amazes me how often others gain a little truth & think they must know it all, which often leads them to assuming groups are the entire problem. It seems to me to have been corrupted leaders of said groups that always ended up laying & convincing good individuals that they were doing what is right because an "authority figure" told them it was.
I have friends of multiple faiths & backgrounds that believe almost everyone is just trying their best to do good & because they are, everyone else must be too. There is true evil in this world. Many individuals actively desire evil (sickening things like child sacrifices), though the vast majority are oblivious to it & I have a hard time with others who assume just because someone is a Jew/LDS/Catholic/Democrat/Republican/etc... that they too must be all the worst parts of what an extremely evil minority is doing.
I tend to think the same thing about governments, though often it seems unelected deep state may make up 10% or more of those evil individuals, where generally in other groups/tribes it is likely to be less than 0.001% I would need to see some real numbers to really calculate it & the percentages I gave are just my best guess at top ends.

If the religion you follow tells you that all other humans are animals and beneath you, you are on the evil side of the fence.
