I am not referring to scholars and theologians. I am referring to the term being archaic (the way you are using it) with the general population. If you were to ask most people they would define evil with a moralistic definition.

But we're not on the street.
And, most people that I talk to call starving children in Africa an evil.
That's why they ask how God could allow that.
That's why there was all the discussion about God's sovereignty and goodnes with Katrina.
if people didn't think those things were evils, then the problem would't arise. They say, "How can you believe in a good God that would allow those things to happen."
If this isn't the classic problem of evil, then nothing is.
Thus people do not only view moral crimes as evils.
