It does it in a rather childish way. Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and i think Islam as well handle it in the most irresponsible way possible. They've created a character that personifies evil (Satan in Christianity) and attribute anything bad that happens to him. So lets say you steal something, you can say "Satan made me do it." Somehow this absolves you from all personal responsibility... it's very childish indeed.

God expects us to be christians, this means being saved from sin BUT WE VE TO HAVE A STONRG BELEIF IN GOD and this is religion, but in the bible God said that at the last day many evil things would emerge(matthew 24: 1-54), if u read it u will see dat some of the prophecies have been fulfilled andall em will still come to pass, so this is actually the end time and christians will be expecting the rapture(this is the taking away of the saints, ie christians).

The Bible says: "We know that we are children of GOD, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one." 1 John 5:19. So, it is not practical to attempt to rule out evil from this world.
Talking about religion, it is a futile attempt to link with GOD who is in the Spiritual, and has banished man from His spiritual world. Genesis 3:22-23.

Good exists.
Bad is only lack of good. It does'nt exist.
Example. Light exists. There is a planet that sends us light. Darkness does'nt exist. There is no planet sending us darkness. It is just the lack of light that we call darkness.
Imagine entering a dark room. With the flip of switch you eliminate all the darkness because darkness has no power source. Another example of real life.
To be cruel is "bad" or "evil" . But it is just not being kind hearted or generous -which are a moral qualities. In order to be kind hearted one needs high moral qualities. Being cruel is just the lack of this moral quality.

God created evil, he says so in his fairy tale book:
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7, KJV)
The apologists try to weasel their way around this passage by saying the big sky fairy created "calamity". They also say that god gave mankind "freewill" which is contradictory to the existence of an omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent supreme being.

Evil is our world to weed out those who do not Truly want to serve and worship God in Heaven, Those who choose to obey the way of evil are just that, evil, those who choose to obey to do good, are just that good.
Mt:7:17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Lk:6:43: For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
IN His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

They can't be. Satan was invented to try and take the blame off of God, but both are imaginary. Religion causes more harm than good.

How would hairdressers and shampoo explain the bad hair days?
How would fitness gurus and dieticians explain obesity and greasies?
How would airbags and ABS and traffic lights explain accidents?
How would doctors and nurses and wonder drugs explain deaths?
How would good parents explain rebellious teenagers?
How would the USRDA explain fast food greasies?
How sad.
