No. Good does not require the existence of evil, although in that hypothetical state, we would not actually recognise how fortunate we are because bad things never happen. It could be said that evil needs to exist in order for there to be religion.

Why is evil important?

Well first of all evil is not important at all! Now if your in a cult or a religion that worships the devil than I guess evil would be important to you. I'm not in a religion that worsips the devil I worsip God so I couldn't say that evil is important because evil is the one thing (bensides the devil) that I hate.I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I'm a Christian, and I believe that the world still must have evil. Nothing can be perfect, and good cannot exist without evil.Answer:Most thinkers realize that without contrast there can be no appreciation of anything. Evil is therefor essential. Without evil there can be no good or awareness of good. Most religions have established a good and an evil pole in their belief system (the Abrahamic God /Devil, the Zoroastrian Ahura Mazdā/Angra Mainyu)An example is the simple question "Is that coffee hot?" You need something that is "not hot" to compare it to and have to contextualise the comparison. (It is hotter than cold tap water, but colder than melted lead.)Roman Catholic AnswerEvil is not important, evil is nothing, it has no existence of itself. God is the only thing that is "important". God is the beginning and existence of everything. Absolutely nothing exists, or, for that matter CAN exist, without receiving its very existence from God. God is perfect, all Good. The two answers above reflect Manichaeism, a heresy from the 3rd century which teaches a metaphysical and religious dualism. In other words Manes taught that there were two first principles, one the Spirit of Evil and the "god" of all evil. This is a very serious heresy, and has been condemned the church.
