People are the root of all evil. Asking if religion is the root of all evil is like asking if books are the root of all evil. Like religion, books are both good and the evil depending on who wrote them. Principia Mathematica = good, The Anarchist Cookbook = evil. "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful." — attributed to Seneca the Younger, ca. 3 BCE - 65 CE

I don't think he is the root of all evil, he's just a guy who did something in anger and now regrets it. Which of us can't say the same? Myself, I've done questionable things. On my toxic days I am the root of all evil.

Carl Jung said, “we are the origin of all evil and man is pitifully unaware of it".
