Or if there is, the government would rather exploit it to keep us in line
than eliminate it. Agreed.

I have. At least parts, though it's been 15 years. Have you?

Yes, it contains passages like that. It also has a chapter called 
"The Disbelievers." Here it is in its entirety:

  In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

  [109.1] Say: O unbelievers!
  [109.2] I do not serve that which you serve,
  [109.3] Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve:
  [109.4] Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,
  [109.5] Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve:
  [109.6] You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.
