The Order of Light

They are heathen scum. Torture and then slaughter them.
They are deviants. Kill them all.
They have broken a law they agreed to uphold, and are responsible for numerous violent acts. Exile them.
A simple police intervention with rubber bullets and tear gas will suffice.
They have the right to protest and publicly speak whatever they want. Leave them be.
The Empire of Light was built on the need of a small group of Christians to create their own isolated nation to follow God in peace, and not worry about the stupid squabbles of democracy, nor the destructive policies of a dictatorship. As their leader, I had created an unique government system based on religious doctrine and absolute logic. To prevent social trouble, I limited citizen membership to Christians only. Since the creation of our Empire, we have advanced to new heights. Not wasting money and time with democracy, it has allowed those people truly gifted at leading to do their job without worrying about looking good in front of the people. As our nation grew, we have started to be less selective of the religion of those who joined. Within ten years, our army and police force nearly doubled to keep up with the different moral standards of the influx of immigrants. Immigrants were allowed in under the condition that they do not publicly express their religious views. These people had all signed a contract to not cause any trouble in this manner. This was all right for a while, with people minding their own business, and worshipping their different gods without bothering anybody. Recently though, several extremist factions had "earned" the hearts of these minorities. The Atheist Liberation Fron was the worst, with public protests and cases of vandalism. Within such a rally, which I gracefully allowed, assuming they would eventually get tired, the mayor of our capital, Lord Marcus Leotopolis, was beaten within an inch of his life for asking the protesters to liberate the market center so that people can go on with their business. The incident could not be stopped seeing how the mayor was surrounded by the protesters, and barely escaped with his life. Upon that moment, I ordered the army to open fire. Two thirds of the protesters were left dead as a result, with the rest of them scattered. After this incident, extremist propaganda started portraying our imperial government as "tyrannical", and many people are openly speaking of a revolution.
The Christian citizens, still forming 90% of the population, as well as most non christian religious people(whom have no wish to deal with the violence that they had in their own nations) demand that the government do something about it. Legally, I have the right to exile every one of them, and they signed a contract allowing me to do so. However, I fear they will not leave peacefully. What does the rest of the world think I should do?
