I am a perennialist of sorts, which means not interested in organized religions but in the general metaphysical truths they share. In the South, that's "close enough" for most people.

In my view, the "evil" lies in dualism itself. Religions that assume an oppositional stance to nature, materiality, and reality are prone to get delusional.
