The ONLY difference between evil atheists and evil deists is that evil deists often cloak their evil in religion. Then apologists come through and suggest that they simply weren't devout.
Never-mind that the Vatican signed a treaty with Nazi Germany, remained silent as the holocaust bloomed, then helped thousands of Nazi leaders escape to safety after the war. (Same Church that recently secreted an army of child rapists out of the US and relocated them to churches in developing countries with fresh, young victims.). But Catholic-raised Hitler wasn't devout, you say. Sure, maybe he was an atheist who simply took advantage of the Vatican. I mean, how could an oracle of God have known, right?
Nothing better sums up your entire argument than the comments of Msgr Owen Keenan, a priest in Canada who, after learning that 215 children were found in unmarked graves at one site before 751 were found in another, said yea but "there was good done" in those Indian residential schools run by Catholics. THAT, sir, is religion writ large.
Reminds me of a one-liner: "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?"
