What makes good people do evil things?

"Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." Steven Weinberg
 
Arguably, religion also makes evil people do good things, negating the harm done by good people doing evil things. In conclusion, religion is useless.
