I'm atheist but that's not one of the reasons for it since you can explain it logically. The usual case here is that there can't be good without evil (either there are both or everything is the same).
Example experience from my life: You eat great food at a restaurant every now and then. Then you join the military and eat bad food every day. After a while the bad food becomes normal, and when you're at home and just cook something that was normal before it's great.
If everything just is great, nothing is great anymore. If everything is good, nothing is good.
I think there's an Arthur Miller quote along the lines of man cannot appreciate sky without earth, nor heaven without hell.
