סור מרע in Psalms it says to "go away from evil". Not the term you would expect לא לעשות רע--not to do evil. The reason is the main evil people do is because they refuse to leave some cult that they joined and now recognize as evil, but refuse to leave it. This is the constant temptation of all mankind. This is major source of evil. The refusal to leave a cult once one realizes its true nature.
This is easy to see in real life and also in the Rambam who says it is the nature of people to be drawn in their opinions after the people they associate with. See Howard Bloom in The Lucifer Principle concerning the power of the super-organism.
