"but how do you explain all the good in the world?"
interesting question.
i believe people can turn good or evil based on their own choices and perceptions of reality. people can do that on their own without the gods' influence.
on choices:
these are really good books.
http://www.amazon.com/Lucifer-Effect-Understanding-Good-People/dp/0812974441/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323974524&sr=1-1you can also read about the "Stanford Prison Experiment" from 1971.
on perceptions of reality:
the wars we are in right now. are they good? are they evil? ask a nato jet fighter. ask a kid on the ground that lost his mother due to a drone attack. what is good? what is evil?
ultimately, in my humble opinion, goodness in the world is not evidence that the gods exist. for the same reason that evil is not evidence that the gods do not exist.
