I disagree. 

It's pretty evenly a mix between religious beliefs and unnecessary, and too often mistakenly applied, executions. In covering executions and courts, I've gotten to know volunteers with Project Innocence. If anyone thinks Willingham's case is in the minority, contact someone with PI. They work to correct some of the many errors made in capital punishment cases, of which there are many. Willingham's is just a bit better known since Rick Perry — a great big bucket of lying sleaze in a suit — was running for higher office while covering up the erroneous execution on his watch.

But I've never gotten over the irony of so many people banging their chests about this being a Christian nation — about how bad gay marriage and abortion and teaching evolution are — but are quick to flip on ol' sparky.
