In dealing with people I can only try to meet them without violence. As far as you legitimize violence for yourself, you create suffering. You want dominance from one worldview over another? You can't do that without oppression. This has been going on for a long time. Both historically and currently. All you have to do then is to end up on the side of the dominant, no? To do that, you need the security of knowing you'll be right where a war is won. Plus material and government protection. I'm afraid to ask if you don't care about refugees and exiled people. I come from a family of expellees and I cannot tell you how much religious fundamentalism disturbs families over several generations.

You can rise up and make fun of consensus as if you yourself were exalted to be dependent on other people's consent, cooperation and a basic ethical attitude without any claim to absolutism. You are just as dependent on the goodwill and a non-entitled attitude of your fellow men as everyone else.
