That's an impossibility because evil depends on perspective.
This is why we have free speech rights in america. If we determined others to limit our free speech by their perception of evil, then atheist speech and lgbt speech would be banned. Pornography would be banned along with "offensive" music. Hell books like huckleberry finn would be banned.
This is why we cherish free speech rights in america ( or we used to ) and why we have the saying "You have the right to be offended".
