Wow, this is a hard one since you requested no spiritual guidance for the answer. First I'd say you begin with self. How do feel about who you are? Killing morphs into religion as well as law. Morality defines destruction that has to do with the self value of your life/your lack of worth. Also, self destruction can be a brain washing as we have seen many times over. How strong is your mind? Again without worth equaled with religion, we can wrestle with a weak mind and the perception of our selves.
To eradicate self destruction one must love each other/value human life and understand differences with compromise/acceptance of varied cultures.

You haven't specified whether it's in yourself, in some specific person, or in the world at large. The answers for each are not necessarily the same.
For yourself, once you've realised the hate is self-destructive, you're a lot of the way there. Exactly who is this hate hurting? Not the object of the hate half as much as the person doing it. Well, theres no profit in that.
Next move might be to shift from "I hate..." to "Can't be fussed with..." (I've got better things to do, think about than...) not change the attitude so much as re-assess the size of the problem.
If it's another person or the world hating, though, your access to getting the idea of self-destructiveness across is not so easy. Especially where a real and persistent wrong is held to be outstanding.

first you have to find the source of your hatred. this is one of the possible case scenarios:
there are things that you hate in others and in yourself. you can't express the hatred toward other people, so your hatred directed toward yourself doubles, bordering with self destruction. also, your self destructive hatred may come from your weakness. you don't want to change, and you don't want to accept yourself the way you are. so you found a solution in hating and wanting to end things. if you don't like the way you are and are disappointed in yourself, in the way you deal with things, you should stop hating and start making realistic changes. it's a hard, long, and step by step process. you should keep in mind that you are not the only imperfect person out there. we all are. try enjoying the process of changing and not being obsessed with fitting some perfect standard. Don't know if it's true in your case, but parents are often to blame. They are never satisfied with us and it makes us feel like we can't live up to some expectations. so we hate ourselves for that (but then, they do it because that's all they know). and know one thing, your soul (if you beleive in the existence of one) will have to learn its lesson eventually. so if you end things by destroying yourself here and now, you'll still have to come back to learn the same lessons over again. only this time the harder way.

First and foremost learn that you have to answer to one person everyday whatever your religious persuasion.And that's the one you see in the mirror every morning.To be able to love something you have to be able to hate it too.You can't experience that depth of emotion unless you're willing to accept the inverse.You can't understand the one without the other.You've already gotten the hate part down now start looking for the good in you.If it wasn't there,you wouldn't have asked the question.Learn how to blow your own horn because nobody knows the tune better!!

to love and respect yourself is the most important thing. If one is able to recognize that they themselves are worthy of the highest respect and the deepest love, can one truly eradicate self-destructive hate. God exists within ones own heart, so we cant possibly hate god? right?

Somebody tell him/her you need him/her. People hate themselves because they think everybody else find no worthy in him.

Gandhi--we could learn a lesson from him, a non-religious one.
