vicarious redemption is practiced in any selfless act. You sacrifice yourself for other's wants/needs. It's also practiced in societies that sacrifice the one for the many ie. the death penalty. Just because someone practices the sacrifice for the many does not necessarily absolve personal accountability. I believe this part is where we differ the most. To restate your position for my clarity, I believe you claim that no society practices exemption from accountability based on vicarious sacrifice. ??
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
