If somebody who is honorable does something that is evil do you view that person as still good or now evil?
well, everyone does evil in their lifetime--it's in our nature. A person can be a good person because you trust them, they are virtuous, haven't gone to jail, you know, just a good dude. But that good dude can mess up, he can get really angry, and do something he'll regret later. A big difference between good and evil people is that good people have a conscience, and regret the bad things they did. Evil people do bad things to others because they enjoy it, and don't regret it later.

How did evil get into the world?
Once sentience is achieved human kind has always sought after more than their meager existence allowed, greed for material wealth and by extension power. Evil is in this world because some men forsake their humanity and become monsters, all for the sake of wealth and power. There are also lesser evils, like murderers and thieves, these people often have mental illnesses, were abused as a child or had some sort of traumatic experience, either that or they were simply born in an environment that promotes evil. Evil births evil, as does good births good.
What is the word for a person does evil things without remorse for a good cause?
Good and evil a mere perceptions. These change from soul to soul. Thus, this question has no exact answer. Just opinions. Be more specific. Is it evil for the ones affected? Like soldiers killing people. They can always say, "I'm just following orders", thus no remorse because in their eyes their actions are out of their hands. The soldiers perceive their actions as good while the target hardly shares this opinion. If a liar does so for something he or she thinks is good then the one lied to will not perceive it as good since they were deceived. A bully looking to please their friends see their actions as good because it's funny to them. Bottom line. Evil never leads to good. Therefore, only someone confused or manipulated would fit this description or believe this can even exist. Of course though, this is just my opinion but, it's as objective as it could get.

How does religion work?
Let us first find the dictionary meaning of the word Religion which is "A strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny" Now having done that we must next discover what the purpose of this supernatural power is. Two purposes come to mind that of Good and that of Evil. If one wishes to learn about Good then one has to find out about the Power that is good. All good come from God. If however we wish to turn to Evil then we turn towards the dark powers of Satan. Both good and evil can be to some degree classed as a religion. The Religion of good can only be to your benefit and the glory of God, whereas the the Religion of evil is only for the gratification of Satan, where the one builds you up the other will drag you down. Where God is all caring Satan is without care, he has no pity, no forgiveness and no mercy. Religion works on the very heart and soul of mankind, either for good or for evil. It is instilled into man from his very birth to know good from evil. The choice is left to the individual which way he will turn.
