The people hung as witches in Salem would beg to differ, except they're dead. But you know, colonial Massachusetts was run by Christian law back in 1692 and that's how things went then. Were the US gov't run by Christian fundamentalists today, there'd be a heck lot more "crimes" eligible for the death penalty.
And, in the long-ago era of 1994, a man got 18 months for murdering his wife, and the judge was upset he had to give him even that much, because, you know, she cheated on him, therefore her husband killing her was appropriate:
