"Promoting atheism in schools would lower the murder rate?"

That would be conjecture. All we know for sure is that atheists are way way way under represented in the prison population as a function of their societal make-up. So "less crime" would seem to be a reasonable conclusion. Many atheists are also humanists, so it is not surprising to find them hoisting a higher moral banner than the run of the mill superstitious person.
