It is not the faith that is evil but what one does because of that faith that is evil.

NO! It's the enemy in the world, who's sowing discord.
The accuser of the brethren, & father of all lies,
continues to point out our differences.
We should concentrate on what we share in common.
Almost all religions have the equivalent of the "Golden Rule".
We simply need to treat each other as we want to be treated.

No. It's one of the world's greatest hustles. Persuading people to give you their hearts and their money is quite impressive.

I like your question. It assumes there is a difference between having 'faith' in a religion and having no 'faith' in a religion. Quite clever.

Let's consider what happens in the absence of religion. Mao, Pol Pot and Stalin were atheists who outlawed religion. They proceeded to murder tens of millions of their own people.
Talk about great evil.
