The problem involves the fact that we Americans kill people legally and as many of us stand up and scream about it there aren’t enough to change the laws. Why? I smell religion.
The US government and state governments are secular. However, as often is the case around here Christianity becomes the scapegoat.
I'm a Christian and am absolutely opposed to the death penalty. I agree that there are those who don't deserve to live, but the death penalty is bad for society, and bad for the executioners.

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.

Micah 6:8
