Sad to say, but humans are the root of evil. Atrocities have been done in the name of all sorts of things, but it's always humans carrying it out.
So maybe we should switch to systems that represent everyone equally, with equal and fair democratic representation, so that when evil inevitably arises it can be squashed.
Someone once said 'A person is often smart, but the people are stupid'
Which is why you have a judiciary and constitution outlining protections.
