No, Christian are not evil, but there are evil people who claim to be Christians.

The fact is, religion generally creates a rigidity of mind that allows for far more wrong behavior "in the name of the Lord" than would otherwise be acceptable. A person who knows they must decide for themselves and take responsibility for their decisions and actions is a lot more patient and thoughtful. He is considering consequences, and not trying to measure his decision against an arbitrary standard. Any set of rules that does not admit of exceptions will eventually go wrong.

Morality is doing what is right, no matter what you are told.
