What do you mean by "I don't believe in evil"?
I think many people can agree that inherently "evil" people are very very rare. Usually people who commit an "evil" act have a reason or justification. It's portrayed in literally every movie with an antihero and spawned the "villain origin story" meme.
But even if they have a reason/justification, that does not make the antihero or villain any less evil.

I mean that the popular idea of evil is a childs story and should not blur our reasoning.
One can consider an act "evil", but if you saw the other side of the coin, perhaps it was done out of necessity, revenge, fear or another "non-evil" reason.
(I am not trying to rationalize away horrible deeds).
I believe in selfishness tho. That's a real thing.
