Humans are social animals though. In order to coexist in a productive manner the sense of evil in us has to be suppressed. We can't get a long in the society if there's theft, rape, murder, etcetera. Societies before monotheism and societies without it know this...and if they didn't I sincerely believe there was some sort of preexisting structure (e.g. in a cannibalistic tribe, aside from doing it out of a sense of survival there is some order to the killing I'd imagine if they plan to have any sort of longevity as a society.)
