We Are All Good
Opinion may vary across regions and in different secs and denominations but in the Christianity I learned. We are all good and we are made and born good, and it is outside factors and other people that cause us to sin or do bad things but even if we do something bad doesn't not mean we are bad that only means a good person has done something bad like most everyone in the Bible.
From the first sin in the Bible eating of the tree that God told Adam & Eve not to eat from. The bad influences can come from as close to you as the person God made for you. I think that people get caught up on the idea the three had some positive value or in enrichment for humanity by giving it titles like “the tree of wisdom” or “the tree of knowledge” or “the tree of good and evil”, but it doesn't matter what the tree was actually offered or its title, because God had told them not to eat of the tree. The tree could have given you trillions US Dollars, or fame, or success or super strength, but because God said not to eat from the tree it should not have been eaten from. But because of that sin Adam & Eve began to hide from their relationships with God, while God continued to pursue a relationship with Adam & Eve, even after they had sinned.
Genesis 3:8-11 KJV
[8] And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. [9] And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? [10] And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. [11] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

A number of religions secs and denominations don't believe that humanity has free will and therefore any sin has been forced by God or the devil for a mysterious purpose. Relinquishing any responsibility for the bad behavior or sin as a part of Gods plan or devils plan. While the Christianity I learned teaches us that Adam & Eve and humanity has free will and has responsibilities to care for our surroundings and support each in doing good, and mistakes and choices to do bad are redeemable and forgiven if and when we ask for forgiveness.
