If you believe that religion is the cause of all the ills in society and are in a position of power you might try to outlaw religious expression while at the same time educating the next generation to despise religion. This is basically what happened in the USSR.
What your failing to understand is to the believer or in your case to the unbeliever violence can seem rational because of the long term good it will produce.
