Actually, the reason that 666 is considered evil lies in numerology.
In numerology, 3 and 7 are "perfect" numbers. 6 is considered the "imperfect" number due to it being just under 7, as it did not become 7, but stayed 6.
As 3 is also a perfect number, having three sixes in a row was interpreted as the ultimate imperfection.
As God is perfection, 666 was considered God's opposite.
