I do. But it must be limited to murder and to rape, and NEVER mandatory, and not states' choice.

I think you'll find that atheists only share a lack of belief in god(s). After that, our opinions on other matters vary widely. I personally support it, if it's streamlined so the right people are executed, and the cost is reduced. I thought there was also another thread on this, recently...

Only in the cases of irredeemable psychotics. Ie mass murders, serial rapists, catholic priests and the like.

I before E, except after C, and a variety of other words that may or may not sound like neighbor or weigh.

Anyway, Atheists only have one things in common. I for one believe in capital punishment, though only as a last resort, and not before attempts to rehabilitate. I believe there are some people that are so mentally wrong that they should just be permanently removed.
