The evil in the hearts of human beings who murder because they think they are entitled to do so cannot be restrained and so is simply harnessed by religion in the hands of rulers who believe they are entitled to the same -- the problem is the wickedness in the souls of such people, and that there are not enough people of moral character in position to check them. If the society were secular humanist, the problem would still be the same. Somehow, the murderers above and the murderers below must be brought to justice. I do not know how that will happen... but I stand with you on the side of right.
