As long as it is acceptable for a person to believe that he knows how God wants everyone on earth to live, we will continue to murder one another on account of our myths.

Interesting. Atrocities have been committed by those who are religious and those who are not (Stalin, , Lenin, Mao, etc.).
It seems we should focus on preventing the atrocities and not on blaming worldview for them.
