Not to promote atheism, but out of a misguided approach to counter what they see as the evil of religion (or as the 20th century proved, to consolidate power). It's always about power, no matter the side (first thing that is taught in political science).
What kind of counters to religion do you see as dangerous? Currently, I'm not seeing more than a concerted effort to keep church and state separate and religion out of the science class room.
I'm basing it on what I saw from the 20th century throughout the world. Religion was seen by many nations as a threat to their own legitimacy. The religions they oppressed stood contrary to the own morals these leaders were promoting. Even though Christianity states for slaves to obey their masters and you would think it again would be referenced and used for nefarious purposes, it also stated for masters to take care of their slaves (something many of these leaders were against).
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
