Given the overall trend on this board toward atheism/agnosticism, I was wondering, relative to the death-penalty thread elsewhere here, how the anti-religious nay-sayers would define or quantify the U.S.'s lack of "enlightenment" on the specific point of the death-penalty?
How would it compare to the practice in other countries?
Is this "enlightenment" something we should be possessed of, but are not?
If we should be, why?
