I believe that in and of itself is up to the individual. One could have the most sincere of intentions, yet be viewed as a villain for what actions they have chosen and how they perform them on the path they tread. No two individuals will see the same situation in the same light, after all.
"Good" is only good whilst it rings with well-meant intentions, as does "evil" when it reeks of malevolence. They are the opposing sides of the same coin. The same could be said of many things, as well: Life stagnates when there is no death. There is no meaning, no moments of joy or truths to cherish if there is not grief and sadness.
As for gods...
For some they exist, for others... they do not. Perhaps they are simply unseen catalysts for events that could be explained by human-developed sciences. However, is it not rude to deny that which can be brought to light?
In short, they all can be considered constructs of the mind. Yet I believe you already know this, son of man.
