Evil in itself is not good but the fact that it exists it has been allowed to occur, there is a reason for it.
Evil in an atheistic material only universe just happens; no rhyme or reason, just occurs, neither right or wrong.

Having a sovereign Creator the reality of evil does not undermine the decree of God since it has purpose it is good in that sense that it has appeared. Ultimately evil has a day of reckoning and that will occur at the time of the judgement and the second death. No grave will be a sanctuary for those who rebel against the will of the Lord.

Habakkuk was a prophet in the Old Testament he lamented and complained to God about the iniquity that surrounded him. It is a short book only several chapters worth a read, it describes the raising up of a fierce and brutal nation that will dispense judgement yet they themselves who derive their justification by their own power and guilty nature, will in turn be judged.

I don't agree with your analysis on several fronts, but do acknowledge that you had a go at answering the question.

Are you saying that only atheism - the belief that there is insufficient evidence to warrant a belief in a God but that this would change if evidence were found - is the only source of evil in the world? Does this imply that the numerous theist beliefs held by likes of the thousands of Christian sects, the numerous shades of Hinduism and Islam and many other religious sects have no "material" for evil?
