What would be the atheistic explanation for the existence of evil and suffering?

What is evil? Bad things happening? In a universe controlled by mechanistic forces we would expect events which we perceive as both good and evil. Of course, they are not evil in the sense that they occur through bad intent, they just aren't what we really want. What's to explain? It's more the believer, who thinks the universe is run by a good god, who needs to explain evil, isn't it?
