I thought Dawkins' bag on evil was that using that term makes us try to look for a supernatural cause for bad things, rather than that humans are capable of doing bad things. Like Nazi Germany wasn't *evil*, it was just the way you would expect people to naturally behave given those circumstances. By calling someone evil, you kinda remove their personal responsibility.
