It can be very rational if you clearly define good and evil in setting as the OP did, or if there is some kind of metaphysical need for equilibrium. If the absolute victory of Good means the disappearance of the Evil God, and the disappearance of a God causes the upheaval of the universe, including the afterlives, because they are necessary building blocks of reality, then it would make sense to actively fight good, even when you're personnaly good, in order to promote the minimum amount evil necessary to be present to avert the collapse of the universe. "I am helping this serial killer escape because if he were to be caught, then everyone would die, and everyone currently enjoying eternal afterife happiness under their god's supervision would be destroyed to, because the Overgod would remake the world anew if Evil was totally suppressed". It makes sense in this case to objectively help the killer, in the same classical moral conundrum of do you switch the rail so the train runs over 1 innocent in order to save the 3 innocents he's about to run over if left to its own device?"</p></blockquote><p></p>
