[Spoilers] Is R'hllor evil? Do you expect we'll see more of that religion in HotD?

I mean, up till now, the Lord of Light is the only religion shown to have power. Some of those powers are obviously good, but it also requires human sacrifices and summons evil spirits that murder.... Doesn't sound like a good god at all.

Furthermore, it's the only prominent religion in the series and novels that's purely fictional (to my knowledge at least).

• Faith of Seven is obviously Christianity in almost all but name (and maybe even Islam in Dorne 🤷).
• Old Gods of the Forest are obviously a reference to the pagan religions of people of northern Europe (Celtic, Germanic, Slavic).
• Drowned God is Viking god Njörðr in all but name.
