Are you saying that non-religious people are violent?  I don't think you 
can say that as a generalization.  I think it's faulty (and dangerous) 
to assume that DV would be more likely to happen in one socio-economic 
(or religious) group than another.

I do agree that the demise of the nuclear family and the subsequent lack 
of a support system has facilitated DV.
