Just a theory. I think it's because most people are right handed so right hand was considered natural. So left handed people were considered "bad." So it then eventually evolved into left side "bad" right side "good."

Because Jesus is seated at the 'right hand' of the Father in Heaven. According to the Bible. And alot of people believe in the Bible.
