The Oxford dictionary defines 'evil' as morally bad or wicked; harmful or tending to harm, especially intentionally. So an evil person is someone who is morally bad or who intentionally causes harm. Defining a word in terms of another word or phrase raises the risk of having to then define the words used in the definition. I would suggest that "morally bad" is a quite different concept to "morally wrong". for example, even though some people see premarital sex as morally wrong, those who engage in premarital sex should not be seen as morally bad.

An evil person could be a truly religious person or someone who pretends to be religious, or who wrongly believes himself or herself to be genuinely religious. It could be a non-religious person, such as an agnostic or atheist. In other words, a person can be an evil person regardless of religious beliefs.
