Goddess Lolth from Dungeons & Dragons is defined as "Chaotic Evil" - however, to he followers, Drow priestesses, she is anything but evil. She gives them purpose, she unites them under a single banner, she enforces the legal system which they see as the righteous one (essentially "survival of the fittest" with a strong sexist flavor), and she shelters them from those on the surface who cast them out of their world eons ago.
To me, she is pretty evil. To them, she is as good as a god can get.
Is, say, Christian god evil? I see him as such; I do not see how a non-evil being can allow such horrible events to happen to people, when it can prevent them at will - and also the whole concept of torturing people for eternity for "sins" seems very grotesque to me.
But, say, Hestia seems to be a very good goddess, if a bit old-fashioned. She promoted family values, and also practicality over following one's emotions.
When people disagree on a certain god being evil or not, the disagreement just comes from the difference between their moral values. And since objective morals do not exist, it is impossible to determine in the abstract sense whether the god is evil or not.
